===History===
The man known as [[Baltrog_Quillian|the Bull]] was the leader of a group of mercenaries that served the criminal overlord that ran the space station known as [[Refuge]].When the Crime Lord of the Refuge space station died, suddenly and under mysterious circumstances a fight broke out among several different factions on the Refuge.

The Bulls Taurus Mercenaries were the most powerful faction vying for control of Refuge. The Forsaken Tribe and the Thrice Damned Swoop Club were also powerful factions on the space station. So when the three most powerful factions joined together to form the Three Shades of Black, the fight for dominance of Refuge was over.

Recently the Three Shades of Black is thought to have made overtures to [[the Collective]]. The Taurus Mercs and the Thrice Damned have both been seen on the Meridian Prime space station before but not after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood takeover of the station, essentially confirming those rumors. What joining the Collective could mean for the long term organization of the Three Shades of Black is currently unknown.

===Organization===
Three Shades of Black is made up of three separate factions. The leaders of all of the factions make a joint deliberative leadership body referenced to as the Convocation of outlaws. Each of the three member groups of the Three Shades of Black are allotted two seats in the Convocation in addition to the Bull who holds his own permanent seat in the Convocation, is empowered by two votes and breaks ties. All members of the Convocation can be present by hologram or be represented by a designated proxy, including proxying their votes with another member of the Convocation.

==Taurus Mercenaries==
[[file:taurustatto.png|thumb|325px|right|Tattoo Taurus mercenaries receive upon initiation]]

===History===
The group now known as the Taurus Mercenaries comes from many different species and backgrounds. What brought them together was service to the Crime Lord of the Refuge. What held them together was the strength of Baltrog. He took the group of outlaws, outcasts and cut throats and through his powerful personality instilled social order and a sense of belonging among them. When the Crime Lord passed away, there was no question as to whether or not they would stay loyal to the Bull. Every man knew they would. They are his personal army and royal guard.

===Culture===
The Taurus Mercenaries operate based upon a dominance hierarchy. The strongest leads and if a leader were ever to display weakness they could expect to be challenged by one or more ambitious members. A leader who feels a member may challenge them, might challenge that member first to forestall any assumption of weakness and to enforce obedience. They never challenge one another in the face of the enemy, only afterward when the entire group is safe. The method of joining is by being jumped in by the rest of the pack. If one were to want to leave the pack they would have to be jumped out but that has been known to leave prospective drop outs dead or seriously injured.

===Rackets===
The Taurus Mercenaries often do mercenary work but they don’t excel in traditional infantry roles. They take close protection security work and escort duty for illicit goods but they find this kind of duty to be boring. Most of the Mercenaries income comes from an extensive protection racket where nearly all of the vendors on the Refuge pay them protection money, to get the Mercs to protect them from others and to keep the mercenaries from busting them up and forcing them out of business.

===Organization===
The Taurus Mercenaries is a name that wasn’t there at first but what later adopted as a tribute to Baltrog. The structure however references how wolf packs are thought to function. How bulls ended up living like wolves is a mystery to most but no one ever accused the mercs of book smarts.

The entire Mercenary group is considered to be a Den. The Den is made of three Packs. Each Pack is led by an Alpha. One of the three Alphas is a Den Alpha and the other two Alphas are Pack Alphas. Currently, this is Baltrog and his two lieutenants, Saber and Rooster.

Any member of a pack is able to challenge their pack alpha for leadership. This can be to first blood if the champion is willing to show mercy and the loser is smart enough to give in, or they can go all the way to dismemberment, unconsciousness or death. Only a Pack Alpha can challenge the Den Alpha. So it behoves the Den Alpha to cultivate powerful and loyal lieutenants.

Within the Taurus Mercenaries failed challenges at all levels are met with pain, severe injuries and sometimes death by sitting alphas onto their would be usurpers. This is to discourage subsequent challenges. Instilling the fear of bodily injury is how the Alpha maintains control of their Pack.

Within each pack the Pack, the Pack Alpha holds totalitarian power, and within the Den the Den Alpha holds totalitarian power. The Alphas instructions are up to the Alpha to uphold. If a packmate does not follow their commands, that is an effective challenge and the Alphas respond as if their authority has been challenged. Failure to do so could bring a physical challenge.

===Leaders===
====The Bull====
Baltrog Quillan better known as the Bull is a well built muscular Iktotchi native to the moon Iktotch. He has a distinctive red hue to his skin color with facial and body markings markings. He bares a nasty burn scar that looks to be from a saber strike on the left side of his face. Standing at six feet tall and weighing 235 pounds, he is very adept at multiple forms of hand to hand and melee combat. He likes to confiscate the weapons of his fallen adversary’s and add them to a personal collection. He is very cunning and manipulative. His narcissism bleeds through his entire personality. Manipulating and destroying others is sheer pleasure for this madman, and he will not stop until he rules the underworld.

Baltrog was born a captive, his mother was a slave and he isn’t aware of who his father is. He was taken from his mother as a boy to work as a cleaner. As the young Baltrog matured, his masters found another use for the Iktotchi: gladiatorial combat. The life of a gladiator on the wasted and broken moon of Iktotch afforded Baltrog the perfect environment to grow into the monster he’d later become. He was forced, as he grew, to learn how to fight for everything he had, earning his place among the slaves.

Baltrog would find himself repeatedly bought and sold until he ended up on the massive space station known informally as “the Refuge.” There the young Iktotchi found himself in the service of a powerful crime lord. On Refuge, when he wasn’t crushing other slaves for the enjoyment of his masters, Baltrog found himself contracted out as a mercenary. As time went on Baltrog or the Bull as he was becoming known, became his masters most useful servant.

The mercenaries that served him became personally loyal to the Bull. The growing personal army and his ongoing usefulness to his Crime lord Master effectively freed the young Gladiator. When his master, the Criminal Overlord of the Refuge suddenly died, fighting between several factions broke out across the station. The power vacuum left by the death of the Crime Lord threatened to destroy the station.

The Taurus Mercenaries were the most feared faction on the Refuge because of their demonstrated brutality. But defeating all of the other factions in open combat would have bled the mercenary group dry. So the Bull showed real leadership by reaching out to the Forsaken Tribe and the Thrice Damned Swoop Club and convincing them to join the Taurus Mercenaries in forming one organization. Once the three groups became aligned, everyone either yielded to their authority or found out very violently why they should.

====Saber====
The 37 year old Rattataki female was named Kee'ri Otheyga at birth but is known to the Den as Saber. She is a cool, calculating assassin of the highest order, and a lieutenant to the Bull, commanding her own pack of Taurus Mercenaries. Despite her pale skin and obvious tattoos, she is able to drift in and out of a crowd with little effort. Stealth and close quarters killings are her preferred methods. She does, however, have considerable skill with a DC-15 and has been known to make shots that trained soldiers weren’t able to make. She is a ruthless, sadistic killer who lacks the empathy required to feel much more than contempt for those who fall under her blade.

The twins were born to a wealthy family with a claim to a local hereditary title. At a young age, both were accepted into the peerage as a baron and baroness respectively only to have the titles stripped due to some misdealings their father was involved in. In a matter of months, they watched their father fall from one of the highest positions of power on the planet to being assassinated in the street behind an old dive bar. The twin’s mother quickly sent them off-world to boarding school using the last of their family’s reputation and finances to fund the twins’ educations.

After her brothers expulsion from his surgical fellowship, the two sought travel on various vessels and eventually wound up on the Refuge and the twins combined skills were sought out by the Bull. It did not take long for the pair to challenge their way to the apex of the Taurus Mercenaries where they now both lead separate packs and stand to both the left and right of the Bull.

====Rooster====
The 37 year old Rattataki male was named Gabrael Otheyga at birth but is known to the den as Rooster. He is much his sister’s opposite. Rooster is a savage. He takes pride in killing and considers himself to be “an expert in torment.” Rooster walks with a careless gait that has been described as “unrefined and chaotic” with his motions being “unnatural and exaggerated.”

Profilers suspect he suffers from an extreme case of narcissistic personality disorder mixed with “the kind of psychopathy only found in books.” One of Rooster’s trademarks is his vibroblades. Each has been modified and stained to look like bloodied saw blades. He is known for showing his victims the blades in detail before beginning to cut on them. He enjoys the fear and the emotion it brings to his prey

One would never guess from his brutal demeanor that he’s a trained physician and graduated top of his class in med school before being accepted into an elite surgical fellowship. From there his story turns dark as he was expelled and his licence to practice medicine was suspended because of malpractice concerns. Rooster and his sister traded his skills as a physician for passage on a series of space vessels, eventually winding up on the Refuge.

As Rooster and Saber moved from vessel to vessel acting as an onboard physician, Roosters poor bedside manner and lack of patience and regard for others would inevitably bring him in conflict with the crew and him and his sister would find themselves stranded at the next Starport. Eventually this trail led the twins to the Refuge where the Bull sought his skill set as a physician. It wasn’t long before Rooster challenged the strength of his packs lieutenant and won his place a the Bulls side.

==Forsaken Tribe==
[[file:Forsakentribe.png|thumb|325px|left|Small metal badge that Forsaken Hunters wear]]

===History===
When Essk left the homeworld after being branded a heretic, many Trandoshan relatives and allies followed Essk, along with other hunters such as the Gand FIndsman Sin that operates as his lieutenant. All found themselves drawn to Essk’s raw charisma and the purposefulness they found in the Scorekeepers harsh light. The new organization was called the Forsaken Tribe, which is a name taken to signify forswearing of what they consider to be false beliefs perpetuated by the Trandoshan establishment.

Eventually the Tribe found their way to Refuge Station where the Bull made use of their services many times. When the Crime Lord of Refuge Station passed away it was only natural for the Forsaken Tribe to side with his chief lieutenant, who was leader of the largest and most powerful faction in the form of the Taurus Mercenaries. Once Three Shades of Black dominated the station, the Tribe stayed busy collecting points and taking special jobs from the Bull.

===Culture===
The culture of the Trandoshan’s of the Forsaken Tribe has been adopted by many converts, drawn primarily from other species drawn to bounty hunting and fields. They are very similar to aboriginal people, the difference being that the Clans within the Forsaken Tribe are called War Parties and are formed based upon loyalty and conversion rather than ancestry. Leadership among the Forsaken Tribe is formed based on support from a plurality of that Tribes elders. Elders are those whose individual Jagannath score is above a certain threshold.

===Rackets===
While the Taurus Mercs and the Riders of the Damned are more vulgar and brutal, the Forsaken Tribe is quiet and efficient. They admire lethality but also guile. It’s no surprise that the primary enterprise of the Forsaken Tribe is bounty hunting. But there is a thin line between bounty hunting and other black market services such as kidnapping and assassination. All of which are activities that earn Jagannath points among the Forsaken Tribe.

===Organization===
The Forsaken Tribe is led by a single person with the most support of the Tribes elders. But the tribe as a whole is made up of an unknown number of Warbands, each which has at least three elders. The total number in each warband is unknown but thought to be small and the total number of warbands is thought to be anything from a few dozen to hundreds. Because the whole tribe is rarely gathered in one spot, the true size of the Forsaken Tribe is unknown and this is likely by design.

===Leaders===
====Essk Tsubra====
Trandoshan society is designed around collecting [[starwars:Jagannath points|Jagannath points]], which would be tallied by the Trandoshan deity [[starwars:Scorekeeper|Scorekeeper]] upon a Trandoshan warriors deaths. It’s only known for sure that kills are counted but exo-anthropologists theorize that Trandoshan culture has evolved to count or possibly even favor the capture of enemies. If capturing enemies did not count for their divine scoring the experts believe there would be less Trandoshan bounty hunters. But a Trandoshan named Essk counted these numbers differently.

Essk Tsubra was a respected tribal leader with a large collection of Jagannath points, Perhaps the most of anyone ever. But he believed that one could score points as a leader of warriors and that the tribe earned points collectively for the group. Other Trandoshans refused to accept this new way of thinking and branded Essk Tsubra and those who followed him, heretics to the Scorekeeper and officially re-started his lifetime score.

Essk refused to accept the moral and religious authority of those who would never accumulate a Jagannath score half as high as his and instead declared himself a Prophet of the Scorekeeper. Not only did he find his method of determining Jagannath points to be righteous he declared that he would bring the impartial judgement of the Scorekeeper to non-Trandoshans. This upset the Trandoshan establishment but to date no assassination attempt on Essk has been successful.

The first elder of the Forsaken has cybernetic legs from the waist down, evocative of Darth Maul. Essk uses a kind of blaster minigun as his main weapon. He is also an expert sapper, making him an industrious manufacturer of makeshift weapons and explosives. He possesses heavy skills in blasters, survival and mechanics. He is known to be as greedy and ambitious as he is grandiose.

====Sin====
The Gand known as Sin was born with the name Xynn. He is an orphan that was raised in a boys home on a space station somewhere near Hutt Space. Young Xynn never knew any other Gand and never received any training, thus he is not a findsman. Running away from the group home stowed away on ships and then traded manual labor for passage, hopping around from what he thought was one side of the galaxy to another. In reality he never got far from Hutt Space before he arrived on the Refuge.
Xynn was taught how to read in the boys home and told he was a Gand. He read everything he could about the Findsman. He got swept up in the romance of the notion. But when he ran into other Gand, they recognized him as someone with no culture and treated him as a stranger. So his goal became to learn how to hunt through some other means. If he couldn’t be a legendary Findsman he was going to find his own way to power.

Once Xynn was on the Refuge, he heard about the Forsaken Tribe. He determined that this group would be his family, the first family he had ever had. Gaining admittance through sheer determination, one of the first non-Trandoshans to do so, he learned very quickly from among the best hunters in the Forsaken Tribe. Along the way he earned the name Sin due to excessive use of [[starwars:spice|spice]]. In the years that followed, Sin racked up enough Jagannath points to be recognized as an elder, then later he was chosen to become the leader of a Warband and eventually found himself lieutenant to Essk himself.

==Riders of the Damned==
[[file:Fullpatchholders.png|thumb|325px|right|“Colors” that “full patch holders” wear on their back]]

===History===
The Riders of the Damned are an outlaw swoop club originally founded by non-human veterans of the Clone Wars. Lacking other options several CIS veterans of various non-human species got together and formed a brotherhood based on the rules of the road, the customs and courtesies of Swoop Culture and a set of bylaws. Since that time humans and Republic veterans have joined the Riders of the Damned and have been allowed to become patch holders

Originally the members of the Riders of the Damned just wore the Confederacy symbol, not so much to symbolize an allegiance to the ideals of the Confederacy as to support the idea of rebellion in general. Most patch holders still wear a CIS patch somewhere on their vest for that same reason but the Club colors, also known as a kutte now display a skull.

===Culture===
Despite their rugged demeanor outlaw Swoop Clubs like the Riders of the Damned follow very rigid bylaws and expectations for behavior. They also purposefully lack regard for the consequences of their actions while following those codes of behavior. If another Swoop Club tried to establish themselves in Refuge for instance, they would immediately, and without hesitation or regard for who saw, beat the members of the other Swoop Club, take their kuttes, steal their swoops and destroy their club house. Even if doing so were dangerous or would put them in some kind of jeopardy.

===Rackets===
Because of the hierarchies created by Swoop culture the Riders of the Damned are able to operate in ways that are more complex than other kinds of criminal organizations. On board Refuge, the Riders of the Damned control the Spice Trade. They manufacture, distribute and sell spice while utilizing violence to protect their investment. All spice used anywhere on Refuge comes from the Riders. Spice being used on the station from any other source would be met with violence. But the Riders also have a few other larger quantity contracts with entities outside of the station.

===Organization===
Anyone wanting to join the Riders of the Damned must first befriend a patch holder so they can be invited to the Riders of the Damned Club House during official functions. This is an unofficial status called Hang Around. It’s determines if the Club even likes them. If a majority of patchholders like them, they can be voted in as prospects. As a prospect they have to prove themselves and pass one more vote to win their own patch, after which they can wear full club colors, be refereed to as a patchholder and they have a vote on all important Club matters.

There is a President and Vice President who are both the leaders, a Sergeant at Arms who enforces codes of conduct and acts as an enforcer, a treasurer who keeps the financial books, and a secretary who writes club records and acts as an office manager. They are voted into office by a majority of patchholders and are empowered to make minor decisions. But most decisions are expected to be voted on directly by the patchholders of the Club by a simple plurality, either at church, which is a weekly club businesses meeting or at any emergency meeting of the Club.

===Leaders===
====Gundark====
The Besalisks man born as Maxx Wraxx was the son of a Clone Wars veteran who was one of the very first patchholders of the Riders of the Damned. His father ascended to the status of Club Vice President of the Murkhana Chapter but never climbed as high as his son would. Maxx Wraxx earned the road name Gundark because some of his brothers said he looked similar to one when enraged.

A generation after the Clone Wars, the Riders of the Damned had grown separate full chapters on Raxus, Geonosis, Murkhana and Antar 4; Gundark himself had grown up on Murkhana. But by the time Gundark became President of the Murkhana Chapter each chapter was dangerously undermanned. The pool of Clone Wars veterans had retired, too few of their children followed in the footsteps and the Galactic Civil War was a dangerous time to be a criminal.

So Gundark, as Chapter President of the Murkhana Chapter, went to church at all four chapters separably and convinced them to retire their individual charters and bottom rockers so all four charters of the Club could join together under one patch. Gundark was then elected president of the over chapter and he led them to the Refuge during the upheaval related to the death of the Crime Lord.

Upon arriving on Refuge Gundark led the Riders of the Damned into quickly and violently controlling the drug trade. They as a democratic body decided to stay out of the struggle for the station and instead focus on cornering the drug market on the station. The Bull noticed their strategy and appreciated it. He met with Gundark and Juggernaught first and then all of the patchholders at Church and convinced them to vote to join the Three Shades of Black alliance that the Bull was putting together to end the conflict.

====Juggernaut====
The Gamorrean born as Zarvor was the grandson of a Clone Wars veteran that had joined the Riders of the Damned following the Clone Wars. He never knew the man as Gamorrean boars tend to die young as a result of their violent lifestyle. But Zarvor decided to honor his ancestors traditions though. He earned the road name Juggernaut because he moved much faster than you would assume a being of his size could and when he ran into people they felt as if they had run headlong into a [[Starwars:HAVw A6 Juggernaut|Juggernaut]].

Juggernaut, as his species would imply, is not the smartest tool in the shed. But he impresses his peers by sheer dedication and brutality. He was selected as Vice President not because any great leadership ability but as a compromise candidate. He was chosen essentially because will never be a serious contender for President but he is trusted by both Gundark and those who have designs on the Presidency of the Club for themselves. Since becoming Vice President Juggernaut has proven himself a most able road captain.

{{Quote|Death conquers all.|Etah said upon arrival to Yridia II, presenting himself to Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre circa 32 ABY}}

Etah is the embodiment of the evil that lurks in the hearts of man. War criminal, genocidal tyrant, terrorist, serial killer; he hasn't collected these sobriquets out of an active desire to do evil but rather because the nature of evil is subjective. He is a man of morals, of causes and of aptitudes; those things have led him to commit egregious sins of historic proportions. The law means nothing to him; the suffering of others means nothing to him. He has no pity, no compassion and no remorse. He has only desire, he has only goals.

=Character Background=

==Childhood==
{{Quote|I never fit in and they hated me for it|, Etah to his apprentice Adrestia circa 34 ABY}}

===38 BBY (0 YO)===
Like most Younglings of the Jedi Order, Etah doesn’t know the circumstances of his birth. He knows for sure that he is half Pau’an and half human. Rumors he heard during his time at the Jedi Temple of Coruscant state that his father was Pau’an, his mother was human and that they were both political advisers to different senators on Coruscant. He was also told that neither one of them had any interest in being his parent, a fact that kept him from searching for them long after he left the Jedi Order.

Instead of being raised in a warm home by a loving father and mother like normal people in the galaxy; he was raised in the temples interior dormitories and classrooms by frigid Jedi monks. Instead of a schoolyard his recess was on the temples mediation balconies and around its stained-glass arcades, statues and tapestries; most often by himself as he never felt accepted by other younglings.

Like all Jedi younglings as Etah grew older he began learning how to use the Force, to meditate and the arts of combat and diplomacy. He was a middle of the road student, being neither weak nor strong in any particular subject and therefore he was effectively invisible to most of his instructors. Much of his free time as a pre-teen and teenager was spent in the branches of the gnarled, ancient tree that stood in the shadow of the Temple's five crowning spires, a metaphor for his loneliness.

The older he became the more often Etah got into trouble. He was often found at the contemplation station outside of the Chamber of Judgment, awaiting punishment for some minor or not so minor infraction. He had begun bullying other students and being disruptive in the classroom. By the time he left the Jedi Temple he had broken nearly every single rule that wasn't accompanied by expulsion or imprisonment.

When the time came around for his Crucible Etah accompanied his class to the Temple world of Ilum. During the Crucible no saber crystals seemed to call to him and no amount of instruction was helping him. Later in the trial, deep in one of the caverns he came across a lone student who had found their crystal. He took the kyber crystal from the other teenager and threatened to beat the other student if he told on Etah. The other student took the threat to heart and told no one. At the end of the night, he watched the youngling he stole the crystal from, being singled out as the only youngling to fail their trial and have not earned the right to be chosen as a Padawan.

==Young Adulthood==
{{Quote|Since they couldn't love me for who I was, I decided to make them fear me for what I could do|, Etah to Adrestia circa 34 ABY}}

===23 BBY (15 YO)===
When the time came for Etah to be chosen by a Jedi for training as a Padawan Learner no Jedi Master or Jedi Knight would have anything to do with him. Either they didn't believe Etah would add value to their legacy within the Jedi Order or they didn't want the headache of being accompanied by a defiant student. Finally Jedi Master Pong Krell took the lad under his wing, promising to break Etah of his bad habits.

Pong Krell, a four-armed Besalisk had a reputation as an especially powerful Jedi Master and a very skilled leader. He was also strict and severe, showing even less compassion to his Padawan than the Jedi monks in the Temple had shown him as a youngling. He was dismissive of his student’s failures and expressed disappointment when Etah lacked the ability to succeed in his tasks. Krell’s praise was sparing but Etah sought it with determination.

One exercise that Master Krell would do regularly was to take his half Pau’an Padawan to the roof of the Temple's ziggurat and test him in lightsaber combat, Etah’s one lightsaber against the Jedi Masters two lightsaber staffs. Effectively fighting four lightsabers welded by a Jedi Master to his one, inexpertly wielded blade, the Padawan was generally overwhelmed. Krell would berate his student for his weakness and then would continue the exercise until the young Padawan was on the verge of exhaustion, his performance becoming worse and worse the more tired he became.

Sick of failing his master and being degraded for it, Etah doubled his efforts in training. Over his first year under the tutelage of Master Krell, Etah grew very strong in the force and all other forms and combat, surpassing many of his peers. He came to enjoy exceeding people’s expectations and outperforming others who thought they were better than him, publicly humiliating his rivals as often as he could.

The combination of not receiving enough love when he was a child and learning that his path to acceptance was raw achievement as a young adult took a toll on the young man’s psyche. Were he a normal person he would have sought counseling, instead he used these difficulties as an impetus for achievement. As his mind and body grew in strength and power his soul began growing corrupt. Unlike most, Etahs fall to the Dark Side began many years before he left the Jedi Order.

===22 BBY (16 YO)===
Shortly after the Clone Wars began, Etah was commissioned as a Jedi Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic under the direct command of Jedi General Pong Krell. Their first engagement was the [[starwars:Battle of Falleen|Battle of Falleen]], which also ended as their biggest failure. The Confederacy of Independent Systems destroyed an entire Republic battle group in the skies above Falleen. General Krell’s Clone Trooper legion didn’t fare much better on the planet below.

Facing a larger droid army than would ever be fielded on any other world, for the rest of the conflict, the general ordered a direct charge. In the resultant chaos the Legion was cut to ribbons, only a regiment sized group was still standing on the other side of the charge, the survivors of the Legion managed to make it back their drop ships and escape the planet. Slipping past the enemy ships in orbit, they joined the Republic fall back point at Bothawui. On that planet General Krell and Commander Etah led what was left of their Legion in a defense against a droid Army during the [[starwars:Battle of Bothawui|Battle of Bothawui]].

After the Battle of Bothawui, Jedi Master Krell was assigned a new Clone Trooper Legion to replace the Clone Legion that was largely shot out from under him. Etah commanded the survivors of the original Legion forming the veteran Black Sheep Regiment. Some historians’ attribute Jedi Master Krell’s widely regarded battlefield success as resulting from the extra veteran combined arms regiment with unique abilities that reinforced his more traditional Legion.

Etah ran his regiment differently than other Jedi Commanders. He treated his troopers more like human soldiers than bio-droids. He oversaw the organization of the regiment through interest and merit rather than through genetic markers. If a Clone Trooper was genetically bred and trained to be a heavy gunner but made a good scout, that Clone was allowed to serve as a scout; is a trooper was designed to be a follower but made a good leader they were promoted. Consequently his troopers were easily some of the happiest troopers in the Republic and they were also an incredibly cohesive and effective fighting force.

The reinforced Legions first action was on the far flung world of Murkhana. Republic Captain Wilhuff Tarkin commanded the fleet during the [[starwars:Battle of Murkhana|Battle of Murkhana]], which primarily engaged the HoloNet relay the Shadowfeed was working on. Jedi Master Krell led an assault on the world, destroying a vast droid army and destroying important civilian infrastructure that would leave much of the surface of the planet devastated. In the wake of this battle, Etah began to truly feel like a soldier.

===21 BBY (17 YO)===
Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, impressed with General Krell’s actions on Murkhana, asked the Jedi Master to accompany him back to the world of Falleen and on to the world of Russan. It turns out these planets were critical to the trade routes of the Governors world of Eradu and Count Dooku had promised access to these areas, all the way to the Confederacy Capital in Antar, if he would forsake the Republic in favor of the Confederacy. Rather than betray the Republic Tarkin got the Republic Senate to authorize a campaign to liberate this important trade route.

Having been raised to the rank of Jedi High General, Master Krell commanded a second Clone Legion. The Black Sheep Regiment landed first, drawing the fire from most of the droid army, which was much smaller than it was in the first battle on Felleen. The two legions landed on either side of the droid Army that now surrounded the Black Sheep Regiment, and crushed the droid Army in between them. The Black Sheep took heavy loses but they savored their victory.

Etah having shown adeptness at integrating Clones into his regiment was given more reinforcements, not from new Clones but from other Clone orphans that found themselves without a legion. The [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]] Campaign happened very quickly, as Etah’s reinforced Regiment acted as a spearhead and Master Krell’s legions flanked the droid Army on both sides, crushing them. Loses in this conflict were few and far between.

Not long after their victory on Ruusan, Master Krell was called to the Kamino system, to defend the Cloning facilities from Confederacy attack. Leaving Krell’s two Legions behind to reinforce Falleen and Ruusan, they took only the Black Sheep Regiment. Krell determined that the most likely attack would come from below the waves, an assessment Master Kenobi rejected because he assumed the Droids would take a more direct route.

The Black Sheep Regiment took on a small droid Army during the [[Starwars:Battle of Kamino|Battle of Kamino]] that attacked the rear of Tipoca City. They destroyed the droids without difficulty and by the time the last droid fell, Tipoca City was safe. This would be the last time Etah would see Krell, as he had a separate assignment from the Jedi Council. The Black Sheep Regiment stayed on Kamino to defend from a possible second attack on the important world.

===20 BBY (18 YO)===
With the execution of Master Krell at the hands of the Clones of the 501st legion, Etah turned over his lightsaber to the Jedi Order. The Jedi was a place that never felt like home to him, he felt like an outsider at best and a prisoner at worst. With the suspicion surrounding him following his master’s fall to the Dark Side, he decided it simply wasn’t worth it to continue the farce any longer. He was more of a soldier and military commander than he ever was a mediator or diplomat.

In the last year Etah had begun dressing like a trooper, he even cut his hair to look more like a clones and he took his meals in the mess hall with the rest of the officers from his regiment. He trained in military strategy and practiced marksmanship, but never meditation or lightsaber fighting. Quite honestly the change wasn't difficult for him and he never missed his harsh master. The Kaminoans offered him the rank of Master Chief, the continued command of the Black Sheep regiment and the ability to train clones and Etah accepted.

While Etah was planning on settling in for a quiet life of training new Clones, Admiral Tarkin had other plans. He still needed an Army to secure that trade route for his home world. He saw to it that Etah was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and expunged any reference to having been a Jedi from Etah’s service record. He was instead listed as a human that had worked as a Jedi Temple security guard from Coruscant that had been hired by the Kaminoans as a Master Chief to train Clones before being commissioned directly into the Grand Army of the Republic.

During the [[Starwars:Battle of Sullust|Battle of Sullust]] as the much more important fight was happening in the skies above the planet, Etah and his Black Sheep Regiment who continued to be happy under his leadership, decimated a droid army on the planet below. The victory ensured that the planet would remain free from Confederate influence and that the Republic forces in the area wouldn't be surprised. Most importantly, Sullust happened to be near Eradu. Admiral Tarkins own world of Eradu was facing a separatist crisis. A political rival of Tarkins on Eradu had allied himself with the Confederacy and called on Count Dooku for reinforcements to free their world from Republic oppression.

Etah and the Black Sheep Regiment which by now was nearly two regiments strong and could be more properly termed a Legion, landed just behind the Droid Army. Breaking into three elements, one battalion on each side of the Droid Army maneuvered themselves toward the main body of the droid army, then away and then around. The droid Army broke ranks to chase the side elements, themselves separating into three elements and were eventually positioned with their backs to each other. The main body of the small Legion then pushed hard, destroying every droid in front them all the way to the other body of Clones. The traitor was arrested before the day was through.

===19 BBY (19 YO)===
At the behest of Admiral Tarkin, the Black Sheep Regiment spearheaded an attack on the Confederacy stronghold of Sluis Van. The planet was well defended as their shipyards were incredibly important to the Confederacies cause. So the strike was very rapid. The Black Sheep dropped in, killed everyone they could see, blew the shipyards and disappeared. They didn't intend to pacify the planet but in destroying the shipyards, the Black Sheep regiment did ensure the Galactic Empire would take control of the planet at the end of the conflict.

Yag'Dhul was a very important trade world, intersecting the Rimma Trade Route and the Corellian Trade spine, making the world a key component to the economy of the Confederacy of Independent systems. The Givens abilities with mathematics also made them an important asset to the Confederacy. Like Sluis Van, the Black Sheep Regiment didn't outright pacify the planet but they did destroy the Confederate shipyards.

Waiting until the First Fleet of the Confederacy was out of system, the Black Sheep regiment slipped onto the world in the dead of the night. The Black Sheep Troopers remained very mobile and fluid and harassed and terrorized the Givin. Their primary goal was to prove to the mathematicians of the planet that the Confederacy could not protect them or ensure them a high quality of life. Their secondary goal was to make the world unsafe for trade. After a month of using gorilla hit and run tactics that were sporadic enough that no Givin mathematician could write an accurate predictive algorithm.

The Black Sheep Regiment left Yag’Dhul as suddenly as they came and headed to Utapau on the Orders of the Supreme Chancellor himself. The Regiment descended upon a planet already in chaos, already in battle. General Obi-wan and the 501st Legion was engaging the Separatist Council, including head of state Grievous. The Black Sheep instead of being part of that mess kept the droid armies busy who tried to flank the 501st, turning droid army after droid army into scrap metal. Pitched fighting was Etah’s least favorite situation to be in but for this battle that is where the Black Sheep needed to be.

Etah was not there when the 501st fired on Obi-Wan toward the end of the Battle of Utapau, but he visibly flinched when he was informed later on. But none of his clones who remembered him as a Jedi Commander dared say anything. Etah assumes to this day that he was spared from the much discussed Order 66 based on the alteration of his service record. He also found himself in the strange position of being on the world of his ancestors at a time he was unwilling to divulge his non-human ancestry as the Clone Wars ended and the Republic gave way to the Galactic Empire.

==Imperial Service==
{{Quote|He was forced to join the Grand Army of the Republic even though he decided to stay by choice. He became an Imperial because the Jedi gave him no identity outside of the order. He had nothing to hold onto|, Selene to Pysko circa 19 ABY}}

===18 BBY (20 YO)===
Etah and the Black Sheep Regiment stayed on Utapau for several months, as the Clone Wars gave way to the Declaration of a New Order. The young Lieutenant Colonel explored the planet and the culture, receiving some knowing looks from Pau’ans who literally viewed him as an infant. They didn’t stay on the Utapau for too long however, the newly titled Moff Tarkin needed Etah and his Black Sheep regiment on Antar 4, the former capital of the Confederacy of Independent systems.

The Black Sheep were different than most Clone Regiments; they had the advantages of lab bred genetic superiority, but also due to Etah’s leadership style, they were able to adapt to situations in ways that other clones were not. This made them perfect to hunt down and eliminate former Confederates in what would eventually come to be called the Antar Atrocity.

As the Galactic Empire cemented its grip on the galaxy, it wanted to punish rebellious worlds, formerly loyal members of the Republic who had sided with the Confederacy. Antar 4 was a perfect world for this kind of retribution. Over the period of a year, the Black Sheep at the behest of Moff Tarkin and in concert with other Imperial elements arrested and executed large swaths of former Confederates. At the end of what the media had dubbed an atrocity, Etah followed the now Grand Moff Tarkin into the outer rim.

===17 BBY (21 YO)===
Bereft of the financial support of the Techno Union and the Trade Federation and beset by the nascent Galactic Empire, many backwater planets in the Western Reaches that had formerly supported the Confederacy banded together becoming collectively known as Separatist holdouts. Some of them would not give up the idea of a Confederacy of Independent systems, while others were dissatisfied with the Imperial Reconstruction; a few were even unaware that the Clone Wars had ended. After the Antar 4 debacle, Moff Tarkin was sent to the Western Reaches in order to quell this miniature rebellion. With the Jedi Order as a distant memory and Imperial service as his present and future, Lieutenant Colonel Etah and the Black Sheep Regiment followed closely on the Moff’s heels.

The droid armies were deactivated but some of the organics that supported the Confederacy weren't willing to give up and those are who Etah and his Clones engaged. From planet to planet, world to world; the Black Sheep regiment, acting on intelligence provided by Naval Intelligence Agency attacked and destroyed secret Confederate bases and listening posts. Continuing the activities that had started on Antar 4, suspected former Confederates across the Western Reaches were arrested and executed, sometimes en mass. The fear of destruction caused many Confederate holdouts to give up and scatter; this was the beginning of Moff Tarkins doctrine of ruling by fear.

After Moff Tarkin was reassigned to Sentinel Base later in the year, the Black Sheep answered to Vice Admiral Dodd Rancit of the Naval Intelligence Agency. As Tarkin faded from Etah’s life the Clone Wars finally ended for Etah, but not war itself or the service it required. The Clone Wars might have ended, but the Galactic Civil War picked up right where the Clone Wars left off. The fighting would not end, the death would not end; he would come to embody chaos as perpetual conflict became part of him.

The childhood Etah spent within the Jedi Order was strange to him now. He almost felt like he was recalling someone else's past, that he was a soldier with a padawans memories. He was so mentally and emotionally removed from the Jedi Order than he couldn't imagine a future in which he stayed with the Jedi Order, a line of thought made more poignant by the Jedi bones littering battlefields across the galaxy.

===14 BBY (24 YO)===
Promoted to the rank of Colonel, Etah with the remainder of his Black Sheep Regiment was transferred to oppose the [[starwars:Ryloth Insurgency|Ryloth Insurgency]] under the oversight of the local Imperial Moff. He was there to replace a traitorous Imperial Colonel that had been assisting Free Ryloth. This was not an illustrious post, it was a dead end assignment; the answer of what to do with a wartime relic that knew more about tactics than he did politics.

The next nine years would not be particularly memorable, it was just a grind. The fighting was fierce but sparse, the Imperials possessed a numerical and technological advantage but the fighting spirit and righteous fury of the Twi'lek rebels in addition to their intimate knowledge of the area made the theater particularly difficult to manage. For every Imperial that died, ten Twi'leks died; but in the end it was the Imperials that felt defeated.

One by one the Clones of his Regent fell, at first replaced by the last of the Clones from elsewhere and then by human recruits. By the time he left Ryloth; the Regiment he commanded would look nothing like the Black Sheep. Bearing that name, Etah thought but did not say, was an insult to the real men of the Black Sheep regiment, the Clones who fought greater battles than these pretenders could ever even dream of.

Nine years after arriving and entering the fight, Free Ryloth showed no signs of stopping. No amount of war, no amount of death, no number of atrocities would end this war. Nothing would dampen the fighting spirit of the Twi'lek. This experience left a bad taste in Etah's mouth and he became less motivated in his Imperial Service and more bitter. He felt no sadness or shame when he was transferred to Corescant.

===4 BBY (34 YO)===
Etah was transferred to Coruscant to serve as the Commandant of the [[starwars:Royal Imperial Academy|Royal Imperial Academy]] and part of him was happy. Though as a colonel the move wasn't actually a promotion, this was a fairly prestigious posting, especially in comparison to his prior posting to Ryloth. Which meant his career was finally going somewhere. But it was also melancholy; he knew his field assignments were behind him, that he would likely never see combat again as an officer of men.

The former Master Chief knew it was a little strange, for a long serving Storm Trooper Officer to be put in charge of a school that largely produced candidates for the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Security Bureau. What they told him is that the Empire wanted a combat veteran with unshakable loyalty to command the post, but he could read the writing on the wall and he understood that he was being put out to pasture.

The Commandants job largely consisted of paperwork, but he also taught a few classes including history, philosophy and basic tactics and he relished those classes. He he took what joy from his job that he could. He walked the halls with pride, knowing that he was special, that he made a difference in the hearts and minds of the next generation of Imperial Officers. In some of his personal correspondents he remarked that that this posting would make his memory live on with the Imperials that walked those halls.

==Imperial Werewolves==
{{Quote|Conquer or die!|, Etah said, speaking the motto of the Werewolves as he kicked in the door of a burning building circa 5 ABY}}

===4 ABY (42 YO)===
About eight years after Etah transferred to the Royal Imperial Academy, the Emperor was killed. On Coruscant there was cheering in the streets at the death of the Emperor until Riot Control Storm Troopers mounted a crack down, dispersing the assembly. But after the Storm Troopers suppressed the celebration, the people of Coruscant began organized protests and fought back in large numbers driving the Storm Troopers into hiding. The Commandant took control of the shattered remnants of Storm Trooper Legions through sheer force of personality and organized them into guerrilla cells, dubbing them the Imperial Werewolves.

The way the Werewolves commonly operated is that numerous small teams would arrive at mass demonstrations and coordinate attacks to inflict massive casualties before disappearing. If there were no demonstrations, they would find the most densely packed open air civilian areas and wound as many people possible. They focused on wounding in order to create gruesome sights and sounds and to overwhelm local medical resources. They would also often use these massive public attacks as a screen for smaller infantry strikes at more strategic locations. Their goal was not just to score the big public attack to scare the common man but also to hamper their enemies ability to organize and supply themselves.

For the first year the Imperial Werewolves operated they still had the support of the government of Coruscant. So they operated from government installations with the support of government warehouses. But after the Galactic Concordance and the formal surrender of the Empire, they operated out of safe houses, struck from the lower levels and kept stock of their own supplies which were largely liberated from the nascent New Republic.

==Prison and Escape==
{{Quote|There's a place out there for someone like you|, Selene to Etah circa 18 ABY}}

===9 ABY (47 YO)===
For five years the Imperial Werewolves were public enemy number one and greatly hampered the New Republics actives on Coruscant. Some sources suggest this is why locations other than Coruscant were chosen for the New Republic capital. The Werewolves were always too quick and too well organized for the New Republic to get the drop on them, but after several years of successful operations, the New Republic finally penetrated their organization. They got a former Storm Trooper who was a New Republic intelligence agent to successfully join the Werewolves.

The revolution ended fairly rapidly after that. Arrest followed by arrest followed by arrest and before long Etah found himself in the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center, a high-security prison located on the planet Coruscant. The next nine years would weigh heavy on the man that Etah would become. Though he had been a soldier, though he had been a True Believer in the New Order, he hadn't been a terrorist until he was. Prison gave him much time for reflection.

Etah hadn't even attempted to use the force in years, decades actually. It did manifest itself in subtle, unconscious ways over the years that made him seem like an above average soldier such as precognition and amplification making him unnaturally fast. But he never used the more vulgar force powers such as telekenisis. But during his imprisonment, he had nothing but time and the dark confines of his cell often found him in meditation.

Nine years slowly churned by. He started using sticks to practice lightsaber forms in the dark aloneness of his cell, in addition to practicing his force powers. He had nothing better, nothing more enlightening, and nothing more entertaining to do with his time. Turning to long forgotten traditions in his time of need, something awoke within him that he had not felt since he was a young man among the Jedi. He wouldn't know til many years later, but he raised a few eyebrows and gained attention that he was unprepared for.

===18 ABY (56 YO)===
One day, nine years into his life sentance a prison riot broke out. On that day he would come face to face with Selene d’Tana, a human female who would weigh heavy on his immediate future. She represented a powerful underworld collective known as the d'Tana Consortium. She was also a Dark Jedi, the d'Tana's had caught wind of his abilities and that he was possibly a lost Jedi who went on to serve the Empire and they decided to bust him out.

Using her contacts Selene got him off of the prison grounds. They traveled to the lower levels where Etah led them to an old Werewolf safe house and they laid low for a few days’ time until agents of the Consortium were able get to them and spirited the two away. Etah, Selene and the handful of people on the small Corellian freighter all headed for a place he had never heard of before but would play a big role in his future; Dajorra.

The former Commandant still didn't understand what he was in for. Etah's years in prison had fundamentally changed him or at least how he thought of himself. He didn't think of himself as a prisoner or ex-convict. But neither did he think of himself simply as a soldier or as a military officer. The force was alive within him, but he was certain that he wasn't a Jedi. But little did he know that he was heading to exactly the right place to answer his questions.

==The Clan of Shadows==
{{quote|The shadows have always been a comfort to me|, Etah to Selene circa 19 ABY}}

===19 ABY (57 YO)===
On arrival to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood Commandant Etah, became Apprentice Etah, an entry level member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He was originally assigned to the House Oriens Obscurum and was slated to be mentored by Dark Jedi Knight Callus Bo'Amar. But very soon after joining the Clan Arcona and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the former terrorist was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then-Sergeant Selene d’Tana, who he had met at the prison. This would establish a mentorship from then until her first departure from Arcona. His infantry background and his knowledge of asymmetric warfare bolstered the strength of the elite Battle Team.

[[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, Proconsul of the Clan Arcona at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing officially as his Apprentice. Most of their training sessions involved heavy drinking but the former Storm Trooper still advanced very quickly under the Ewoks tutelage, advancing from [[Apprentice]] to [[Guardian]] in just a month. Etah remembers this time fondly.

After a serving as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force for a time, the young Guardian Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]] where he led for roughly a year and a half. Etah remembers this task as being very frustrating because many of his phyle members were higher ranking than him within the Brotherhood and would not take direction.

===20 ABY (58 YO)===
Deputy Grand Master [[Aristan Dantes]], summoned Proconsul Koskian d’Tana of the Clan Arcona and Proconsul [[Phoenix]] of the [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] separately, to meet with him on [[Antei]]. The two Proconsuls got involved in a scuffle. A short spat between both Clans ensued that included Phoenix abducting Etah and beating him, though not severely. Arcona crushed Scholae Palatinae and Phoenix immediately halted hostilities. Unbeknownst to most, the entire conflict was driven by a friendly bet between the two Proconsuls, and roughing up Koskian's apprentice was just for fun. Phoenix would later join the d’Tana family and ascend to its highest ranks.

After returning from an undercover mission to Eldar, the d'Tana family indicated that he along with a Nagai named [[Rho]] had been accepted into the family. Both men were already affiliated with the Consortium but joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men; Mafiosos whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family while being under the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]], both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. Selene -- the pretty young woman that convinced the family to spring him from prison -- died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah, knowing no other home but Arcona, choose to remain among the shadow Clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

After being inducted into the family Etah was put in charge of the legitimate Tana Consortium front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, and originally used as a legal front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's, Etah was in charge of the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

When a majority of the Clan Arcona and indeed the entire brotherhood was called to the Antei system by the Grand Master at the time, Etah stayed behind in the Dajorra system. The Arconan Fleet and most of its Dark Jedi left to join all the other Clans in a joint military exercise called Operation: Second Darkness. Etah stayed behind to both study the Dark Side of the Force and to deal with his growing mental instability.

===21 ABY (59 YO)===
As his final trial to become a Dark Jedi Knight, Etah’s Master Psyko, sent him to the planet Kiffex to retrieve the holocron of Dark Acolyte Sogr Kjah, who was a master of Soresu and served a mighty Sith Warlord in a great historical war. Etah traveled to this far away world, made into the Temple and found his way to the holocron but as he retrieved the holocron, the temple, including the floor underneath his feet began to crumble.

Etah escaped the tomb with the holocron, but was accosted by a pack of wild mindless Anzati. Kiffar villagers retrieved him and nursed him back to health. As he became stronger he interacted with the holocron of Sogr Kjah which among other things reminded him of the process he learned so long ago as a Jedi Padawan, to create a lightsaber and taught him the rudiments of the Soresu style of lightsaber fighting.

The adventure concluded with him destroying a beast called the Demurgima that had been ravaging the villagers who had saved him and retrieving its heart which could be used as a lightsaber focusing crystal. Using the Demurgima heart to finish his lightsaber, he battled hordes of wild Anzati and the ancient Sith spirit that was imprisoned on the world and who was controlling the Anzati.

Upon his return the new Dark Jedi Knight took up his first role within the Shadow Academy, Etah became the Ecclesiastic Pedagogue of a subject entitled General Leadership. For the next several years he would visit the Shadow Academy facility on Lyspair to tutor young, prospective Battle Team Leaders on basic leadership subjects and the Dark Brotherhoods chain of command and reporting system. As a former Master Chief and Commandant, he assumed this role easily and enjoyed it immensely.

Following the Clan Arconas return to Dajorra Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active, though uninspired leadership helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition during early 21 ABY. The former Jedi gave no objections about the choice of [[Sashar Arconae|Sashar]] as [[Quaestor]] to [[Consul]] [[Timeros], but Sashar, it seemed, had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The old trooper had no time to grouse however, as the Extra Galactic aliens chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconans that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short period.

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Alien Invasion]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent [[Shadesworn]] cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time. The cult of shadows suited his personality as a Storm Trooper and foreshadowed his later embracing of the ideals of the Clan of Death.

Following the Alien Invasion, [[Mejas Doto]] re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah believed in the competition that he had rightfully earned the Quaestorship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism; [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Quaestor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediately followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events caused a rift between Etah and much of Arcona that would never be fully reconciled, but would wane just a bit.

==The Shadesworn==
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|, - Etah in a communique to the House Galeres, circa 24 ABY}}

===22 ABY (60 YO)===
22 ABY was a very slow year for Etah and most in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Arconan Fleet hovered in space without purpose, avoiding the marauding Extra Galactic Aliens; going nowhere in particular but taking great pains not to be found. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Sashar was using his influence over Mejas Doto to systematically drive out those not specifically loyal to him, cementing his eventual rise to power. Most went silently into the night, but Etah fought hopelessly against the rising tide.

===23 ABY (61 YO)===
Clan Plagueis’s Jusadih system didn’t need to be evacuated two years earlier, when most of the Dark Brotherhood systems were forced to. But in 23 ABY the extra galactic aliens began moving toward the system. Plagueis asked for assistance from Clan Scholae Palatinae, sworn enemy (at the time) of Clan Arcona. So when Scholae Palatinae rushed to the aid of Clan Plagueis, Arcona attempted to ambush the home system of Scholae Palatinae which also hadn’t been evacuated.

The civil war was interrupted by the aliens who arrived in the system and the three Clans worked together to defeat them. Following their victorious battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, the fleet of the Dark Council arrived. There was a black ops mission by the Soulfire Brigade in order to put Scholae Palatinae in an awkward position, but that operation was ultimately unsuccessful. Etah was the Commander of Aerospace Group (CAG) of the elite Blue Mist Squadron during this conflict and was a factor in the combined Joint Task Forces success against the aliens.

===24 ABY (62 YO)===
Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also useful. The ongoing, public conflict between the two put the Obelisk Templar on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially-unofficially led by Timeros Entar. As an outsider the old soldier was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man could have been a friend and ally in other circumstances.

With the Clan of Shadows approaching its greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Quaestors of both houses, both of whom were thought to be his cronies, though ironically both of them went on to join the Dark Council. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the sudden shift of power forced the Entar into the Quaestorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was officially back in good standing with his Clan and a great threat from within was eliminated.

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt its fleet. It decided that 24 ABY was the proper time to return to Antei and to take it back from the Extra Galactic Invaders by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan Vong they were planning to face had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In their place however, was a crackpot Jedi Master named Omancor Crask, leading a band of anachronistic Jedi that had somehow obtained an army of automatons. The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and their metal golems.

Grand Master Aristan Dantes killed Omancor Crask in one-on-one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en masse. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reoccupying the system. Upon returning to Dajorra, it was found that the Garconan spice veins were tapped out. With Dajorran planets devoid of spice and the destruction of Coronada Station the d’Tana family made the decision that the future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

===25 ABY (63 YO)===
A short time after the war, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprenticeship to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentor's footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory in 25 ABY, Etah was elevated to Krath Archpriest and received a token of the Clans faith in him, in the form of a Seal of Loyalty. Not long after the Great Jedi War, Etah succeeded Timeros as Quaestor of House Galeres; and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order for reasons not publically stated.

Etah's tenure as Quaestor of the House Galeres started strong, as he worked with the Pronconsul to institute Project Reb00t, which was a dramatic restructuring of the Clan that didn’t ultimately perform well and as the Shadesworn organization made their existence known to the whole Clan. But during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, [[Zakath]], and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===26 ABY (64 YO)===
Though they are not years that stand out well to him amongst his memories 26 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]], leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its nightmarish insect-like inhabitants that possessed freakish abilities which lay outside of the force. He recalls being wet and cold, he recalls being in combat but he doesn't remember any specifics. This mission was dangerious and miserable but provided no signifigant logistical or stratigic challenges, so Etah fell back into muscle memory.

After stepping down from Quaestor, he was hired as Rollmaster of the House Galeres which in the Clan Arcona was being termed Magistrate to the Consul at the time. His project was to gather and coallate massive amounts of data about the Clan Arcona and produce a comprehensive report called the Prospectus. It was a boring time but he counts this as one of his greatest achievements, even though Arcona never really recognized him for the amount of work he put into the project. Several elements of his report are still utilized by the Clan Arcona.

===27 ABY (65 YO)===
Etah resigned from his position as Magistrate to the Consul just in time for hostilities on Antei to boil over in what is now termed Operation: Disorder Etah joined the rest of the Obelisk Order in attacking and destroying the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army. The assembled Obelisk then occupied the hallowed halls of the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] which they then defended from [[Sith]] Incursion in one of the few instances of Dark Jedi attacking Dark Jedi directly and openly. It was no surprise the militant Obelisk was victorious over the power hungry Sith and the studious Krath.

The more exposure to the Dark Side of the Force Etah recieved, the more he was twisted by it or as he would likely think; the more he twisted it to him. His habits became more peculiar as time went on. He began talking to himself and had developed a facial twitch. Sometimes people would go missing and the evidence would point to Etah as the last person who likely spoke with them or saw them alive. A few of these were lower ranking Dark Jedi but most were mundane members of the Dajorra Expeditionary Fleet. There were always questions, but never enough evidence to prove that he was murdering random people.

===28 ABY (66 YO)===
Not long after Operation: Disorder Etah stepped up as Battle Team Leader of Black Hammer. Black Hammer was an elite combined arms unit, consisting of air, armor and infantry elements which attacked their targets swiftly. The old Imperial Colonel whipped the Battle Team into shape, both on paper and in function. Using time tested military tactics, used extensively in the Clone Wars the Black Hammer Brigade became the shock troops of the Clan Arcona. He then promptly handed the team off.

While he was Commander of the Black Hammer Brigade, Etah was chosen by Justicar Kir Taldrya Katarn to serve as his Left Hand of Justice. Not long after stepping down from the field Command, Etah assumed the office of Left Hand of Justice. This would be a post he held for nearly two years, much longer than anyone had in the past. But there were no high profile cases during this time period. Instead, the first year mostly consisted of menial paperwork, but he spent the second year also serving with the Clan Arcona.

===29 ABY (67 YO)===
A call to invade New Tython came from the Dark Council and Arcona eagerly responded, frothing at the mouth at the chance to extinguish the light Jedi blight from within the Brotherhood. Etah was involved in pre-planning the operation as he was many of the military operations within Clan Arcona.

Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reinforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit but Sashar Erinos died during this operation and Etah still feels conflicted about that.

Over the last several years Etah had watched the Erinos family, under Sashar’s careful control, come to dominate the Clan Arcona and became hostile to anyone that might jeopardize their grip on the Clan. This had been pattern had been interrupted by the placement of the new Consul, [[Wuntila Arconae]] and the rise of Galeres Quaestor [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sanguinius Entar]], setting both of these families on a collision course, with the remnant of Etah’s d’Tana Family trapped squarely in the middle.

In response to a possible Arconan civil war brought on by the arrogance of the Erinos Family, Etah went off the reservation and formulated a plan to assassinate Teroch Erinos, nephew of the fallen Sashar Erinos. His family members and the family’s allies and associates decided to follow him in the execution of that plan. But despite his determination, Etah was unsuccessful at his task and Consul Wuntila sent Etah’s mentor Timeros Entar to rein him in.

===30 ABY (68 YO)===
Following his assassination attempt on Teroch, Etah earned a vaunted and covited Dark Sage Law degree, and chose to travel to the Shadow Academy to receive the degree in person. While he was there, before the ceremony had a chance to commence, scores of journeyman Dark Jedi were reported to have lost their ability to control the force. Before the mystery of why could be solved, those same journeyman began to transform into mindless zombies. A small band of Equite Dark Jedi came together to try to escape the station and to try to contain the spread of the Horizons Zombie Virus.

During the adventure Etah allied with [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia]], who had succeeded him as Left Hand of Justice, to oppose [[Headmaster]] [[Ronovi Tavisaen]] and her [[Praetor]] [[Solus Gar]] as they attempted to destroy the Shadow Academy to keep the Horizons plague from spreading -- ignoring the obvious fact that virus had already spread beyond the walls of the Academy. Before the Academy was destroyed, the Dark Council had found a cure for the Horizons virus. Etah shook hands with Alaris and left the Shadow Academy at the earliest opportunity, skipping the ceremony he had arrived to attend.

Upon his return to Dajorra the Quaestor of House Galeres, Sanguinus Entar, who had a great amount of faith in Etah, placed him in command of the House’s premier unit, [[Spectre Cell}]. The old war horse wasn't use to a tactical level of combat but he picked up his old skills and habits pretty quickly. With knowledge and experiences learned in the Clone Wars and honed on Ryloth, Etah would lead the team well through several engagements.

Not long after his zombie misadventure, Etah lead Spectre Cell in an assault on a Super-class Star Destroyer Avenger II, at the very beginning of what would come to be called the Dark Crusade. Etah at the helm of Spectre Cell traveled to the Jusadih System and led his team in clearing the Bridge of a House Plagueis Capital ship of the mercenaries that the late Darth Zoraan had led into Brotherhood space. After securing the Plagueis ship the Obelisk Prelate led his team down to the surface of the planet Kapsina for more action.

The Dark Crusade began as dealing with the political fallout from the actions of now-dead Grand Master Zoraan, then continued as a Holy Crusade for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood to take and occupy the historically Sith planets in the Galaxy. The next year and a half was an exhausting seemingly never ending series of skirmishes with a mysterious rival Sith Faction all over ancient planets.

After several months of intensive combat operations in which Spectre Cell served on the front line of every Arconan mission, Etah had a massive falling out with Aedile Cethgus, someone whom he had never really respected to begin with. Following this spat, Etah stepped out of the Command of Spectre Cell and transferred to House Qel-Droma within the Clan Arcona and took up leadership of the Battle Team Shadow Gate.

===31 ABY (69 YO)===
Several years back the Clan Arcona had found an active pirate Space Port located just outside of the Dajorran system. They spent the next several years silently gaining control of the station, slowly turning it into a carefully constructed front. But, after all of that hard work on the part of House Qel-Droma, Arconan forces and safe houses across the station were suddenly overrun. It seemed that someone, at the very least, knew that an outside entity had taken control of the station.

Though Port Ol’val is a Qel-Droman asset, the Consul, Wuntila Entar, deemed the action a threat to the entire Clan. So Etah was assigned to a three-man team along with Legorii Kryotek Entar and Celevon Edraven and given an assignment. Though Celevon was largely absent, Etah and Legorii managed to get a lot of tasks accomplished. Underneath it all, this was a test of the members of Arcona, a Trial of Loyalty, so that Consul Wuntila Entar Arconae and Proconsul Marick Arconae knew who they could trust.

Battle Team Shadow Gate had been an archaeological team but was morphed by the Dark Crusade into something resembling a Special Forces unit. But it seemed ill-suited to the task and Etah's style never meshed with the group, so after leading the Battle Team Shadow Gate through a few skirmishes of the Dark Crusade, he resigned from command. As combat against the One Sith began winding down, Etah changed his Order to the Sith Order and was in short time promoted to Sith Battlelord for his long time service and his growing power.

==The Masters of Life and Death==
{{Quote|The shadows shepherded me towards death, because death exists within the darkest of shadows|, Etah to Hades, circa 32 ABY}}

===32 ABY (70 YO)===
Over the years Etah's outspokenness and lack of desire to conform had forced him to the fringes of the Clan Arcona. The Clans core leadership utilized him as a junior leader when they needed to and awarded him as little as they could get away with. Timeros was the only core leader in Arcona that supported him at all and he was the only reason Etah was recognized as a Battlelord. The former Storm Trooper was plagued by rumors of bone chilling screams emanating from dark cellars, and dark rooms with rows of skulls, with which he apparently sought counsel. Things of this nature were too inhuman for the squeamish grey Jedi of Arcona and made them very uncomfortable.

Etah eventually realized that he had traveled as far on his path with Arcona as he could go, and so the former Imperial began to look at his options. Tarentum, Arcona's greatest ally was the first place the Battlemaster considered as he sought to move beyond the shadows and onto the darker shades of death. Hades was the member of Tarentum most willing to meet with him and discuss his options. Hades convinced Etah to transfer, proving that he was needed and would be valued among the Masters of Life and Death. Not long after his arrival in the Yridian system, Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre recognized his potential and secured Etah's loyalty.

Etah's original mentor had been Psyko, as he progressed in power Timeros became his mentor. As Etah transitioned from the Clan of Shadows into the Masters of Life and Death, Bloodfyre became his mentor. Each new chapter in his journey became a new conduit for learning. As he progressed in power, learning the bulk of what he could learn from his current mentor, a new mentor was required. He knew that Bloodfyre was the master that would lead him into the ranks of the Dark Jedi elders.

The appropriately termed Operation: Fading Light involved mopping up the One Sith and bringing the Dark Crusade to a close. Etah not yet a leader among Tarentum performed admirably in ground battles jumping from Bosthirda, to Begeren, and finally to Nicht Ka in quick succession. The old Storm Trooper was able to prove his prowess in combat, performing particularly well on Nicht Ka. With the dust of Fading Light securing the path to Korriban, the last prize of the Dark Crusade, was within reach.

The very next year Tarentum began gearing up to join the rest of the Brotherhood in a massive assault on Korriban. But as he final layers of the onion were torn off, they revealed a rotten core. The underlying cause of the Dark Crusade was revealed to be the master stroke of many powerful Elders of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Tarentum supported the Clan Arcona in answering the call of the Dark Council and protecting Grand Master Muz.

The former House, now Clan Tarentum, wearily emerged from the conflict. They had done their part in ensuring the continuance of the Dark Council and the Brotherhood as it had been currently understood. Focusing inward Etah transferring within Tarentum to the new Battle Team Mortis, and began laying the foundation for a powerful House of Dark Jedi. It was this time that he began taking up the banner of the Grand Chamberlain in the face of other sects developing within the Clan.

===33 ABY (71 YO)===
As the Battleteam Mortis became the House Mortis, Etah was appointed to the position of Aedile of the new house. Unfortunately it was not so the Clan summit could watch him spread his wings and ascend to godhood. It was so that the Quaestorship could be delivered to someone without the experience to hold the position. He wasn't leading so much as he was baby sitting. This did not sit well with the Sith Battlelord and he eventually resigned as a new summit was appointed.

==The Deathsworn==
{{Quote|I have become death, destroyer of worlds|, Etah said during a ceremony circa 34 ABY}}

===34 ABY (72 YO) ===
The very next year Bloodfyre charged the Sith Battlelord with creating a cult dedicated to death, which would serve Bloodfyres interests. Taking the Shadesworn precepts he learned as a cultist of the Shadows in the Clan Arcona and translating them into a Cult of Death befitting the Clan of death, the Deathsworn were created. He served as the first Vicar or leader of the cult for a time before he was assigned elsewhere, remaining as a member of the Deathsworn cult but working on projects the summit assigned him.

During his time as Battle Team Leader Etah was confronted by a young female Selphi named Adrestia who sought to become his student in the force, and her wife, a Duro named Themis. Adrestia had been a member of Omancor Crask’s Jedi Order and her wife served as a pilot in his fleet, mainly to stay close to Adrestia. Following Master Crasks death they were both stranded in Dark Jedi space, on the run and in fear of their lives ever since. In response Etah lobbied the Summit to allow the membership of Gray Jedi, becoming a member of the Dark Brotherhood would shield Adrestia and her husband from random violence on the part of Dark Jedi

===35 ABY (73 YO)===
As he began focusing more and more time and energy on protecting the grays within Tarentum; the Battle Team Leader of the Deathsworn, commanded his loyalty and obedience and Etah declined stating that his loyalty was only to Bloodfyre and Tarentum and the latter only so long as it remained consistent with the former. The battle team leader objected and words were said. He left the battle team which he believed had become a watered down, almost useless version of the vision of greatness he had envisioned for the team.

During this time Etah’s Apprentice, Adrestia, became the Aedile of the Clan Tarentum’s House Liath in the lead up to a Great War that would rock the Great Jedi Brotherhood and serve as a test for the newest incarnation of the Clan Tatentum. Some of the gray Jedi she led did not appreciate Etah’s presence or influence but others pointed out his importance in their protection and still others pointed out that their own patron, Omancor Crask had been a Jedi Master and Grand Master equally.

=Appearance=
Etah’s hybrid Pau’an heritage is hidden within very human ascetics. He stands at six foot, two inches tall. His dark brown hair gets bushy as it grows long and his beard grows curly and wild looking; but often times he wears his hair short and his face is clear shaven. The Equites years of military service show in his posture which tends to be rigid, standing straight with his shoulders back. His shoulders are a bit wider than most, but his build is not muscle bound; solid is a word that would probably come to mind instead. The most visible piece of clothing former Imperial wears is a black and well-worn Armorweave Cloak, under which you see black armor. When in the field, he wears a white helmet shaped in the visage of a skull. The clothes and gear themselves are as practical as the visual effect is thematic and terrifying.

==Physical Appearance==
[[File:Etah_Portrait.jpg]]

=Psychological Profile=
Etah has a number of mental maladies that shape his personality and actions.

==Belonging==
As a young Jedi Etah never felt like he belonged to their order. He could never put his finger on why he was an outcast but he never felt accepted or comfortable among their number. This led to him developing a rabid need to be accepted. He chased that need into military service first in the Grand Army of the Republic and then in Imperial service and now he has chased that sense of belonging into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, first within Arcona and now within the ranks of Tatentum. This has allowed him to be manipulated into serving the ultimate goals of others in the past. Though he would never admit it his need to be accepted makes him the perfect goon,

==Dark Triad==
Etah is narcissistic, has Machiavellian tendencies, and exhibits traits of psychopathy. Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy. Machiavellianism is characterized by the habitual manipulation and exploitation of others, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and deception. Psychopathy is characterized by continuing antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness and remorselessness. Psychologists have called these traits collectively the dark triad and when possessed within one person can make them quite dangerous. Etah is a superficially charming person, like many sociopaths are, but underneath it all he is a mess and in response to his emotional disarray he has become a monster.

==Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder==
Jumping from the Clone Wars into Imperial military service, ending his military service with acts of terrorism, spending several years in a violent prison and then engaging in several years of near constant combat operations in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Etah doesn't have post-traumatic stress disorder just one time, he has gained PTSD several dozens of times. The result is an extreme version of PTSD primarily experienced by kidnapping victims, the victims of concentration or prisoner of war camps and victims of other kinds of long term physical and emotional abuse.

Complex PTSD causes Etah to have problems regulating his emotions which tends to result in persistent bouts of sadness that break into explosive fits of anger. Etah often shifts between an inability to remember his traumatic experiences and vividly reliving them through either daydreams or nightmares. Etah often feels shame and guilt for some of the experiences he has lived through. He is sometimes feels anxious, and paranoid. Complex PTSD feeds and sharpens Etah’s Dark Triad related symptoms, especially psychopathy.

==Disassociation==
Most people live in the moment, they live in their bodies. They see through their eyes, they live their life with intention. This is not always Etah’s experience. Sometimes Etah feels either as if he is the thing lurking within, looking through his face as if his face were a mask, partially removing himself from the situation. Other times he feels as if he is watching himself and the people around him from the above, totally removed for the situation. This is perhaps proves that there is still a moral center to him somewhere deep down and that he has to remove himself from his more heinous acts in order to assuage that unconscious morality.

==Otherness==
Most sentient beings in the galaxy feel somewhat connected, especially those of the one-head, two-arm, two-leg variety. There is at least an understanding that all sentient beings are similar or maybe it’s simply recognition of sentience itself. But Etah feels different. He has felt different all his life. Etah sees himself as totally removed from all other beings, a distinct form of life. It’s not something he can or does articulate, but it feeds all of his other negative traits. It feeds his grandiosity, the idea that he is different has become that he is more, which is simply over compensation for his feelings of weakness. It also feeds his callous disregard for others in the pursuit of his objectives.

If Etah were ever able to empathize with others, his behavior and personality would probably undergo a dramatic change. As it stands Sith Bloodfyre is the only being he has ever identified as being in any way like him, or rather he has identified that he is like Bloodfyre. Which has created within Etah, a hysteric sense of loyalty to Master Bloodfyre. A betrayal by Sith Bloodfyre would plunge Etah into an unfathomable mental state.

As Sith Bloodfyre in some ways views himself as an abstract representation of death, Etah is beginning to view himself as both the primordial embodiment of terror and as the abstract representation of terror, the harbinger of death. The more powerful he becomes, the more he slips into his delusions of grandeur; the less human he feels and the less connected to the world he is. He can’t be said to have broken out into fill schizophrenia yet, but there are worrying signs that his dark triad related symptoms combined with his strange feeling of otherness might spark breaks from reality within him.

=Possesions=
==Armorweave Cloak==
Etah's black and well worn armorweave cloak is one of his most faithful companions. It resembles a rain poncho but provides actual protection. When worn with his skull-like helmet, the Cloak creates the visual appearance of the Grim Reper.

==Clone Trooper Armor Phase II==
When in full battle rattle, Etah dons the specialized armor of the 214 Combined Arms Clone Trooper Regiment better known as the Black Sheep. In addition to containing a centralized HUD system, it is stripped down, omitting unnecessary pieces in order to maximize mobility. The armor from the neck down is black but the helmet is a stylized white skull.

==Droid:==
Etah’s BB unit astromech is black and silver, with what seems to be Imperial markings. Its nickname is BB Hate.

==Miscellaneous Equipment:==
Among other items that Etah carries is a voice modulator to mask the sound of his voice, an advanced scanner to feed into the HUD in his helmet, an elite shock collar to affect arrests when necessary, a holo projector for communication, a synthflesh dispenser in case of injury, and an aqua breather to allow him to breath underwater.

==Vehicles:==
===Starhawk Speeder Bike===
His speeder bike is all black and he uses it to disembark from his ship. This was a recent purchase but he has taken a liking to it.

===VT-49 Decimator===
This VT-49 can sustain a rate of fire greater than most vessels of its size. It can also take off faster than normal when it’s needed too. It’s hull is black all over.

==Weapons:==
===Knuckle-plate Vibroblade===
Etah doesn't wear a field knife like many soldiers are expected to. Instead he wears a knuckle-plate vibroblade. The blade itself is weighted to create a more dramatic impact, is obsidian in color and distributes a debilitating chemical to whosoevers skin is pierced with the meaty blade. The vibroblade itself is well hidden within the right glove of Etah's Phase II Clone Trooper Armor.

===BlasTech LL-30 Blaster Pistol===
This blaster pistol has been at Etah's side since he was a young man busting clankers. It looks beat up but fires in quicker succession than other blasters of the same type due to cooling vents being fitted into the sides.

===BlasTech DC-15A Blaster Rifle===
Like his pistol this rifle has been slung on his back since he was teenager. It looks beat up and also fires at a faster rate due to being fitted with cooling vents. One of Etah's field secrets is his rifles padded assault sling that keeps him from expending unnecessary energy.

===Lightsaber===
Etah made his first lightsaber as a Padawan, he constructed his second as a Dark Jedi Knight but as a Sith Battlelord he was bestowed an ancient saber of great power and pedigree. Anyone familiar with methods of construction will recognize the high level of artisanship that went into the construction of it. Etah thinks of it as a badge of nobility.

{{Quote|Death conquers all.|Etah said upon arrival to Yridia II, presenting himself to Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre circa 32 ABY}}

Etah is the embodiment of the evil that lurks in the hearts of man. War criminal, genocidal tyrant, terrorist, serial killer; he hasn't collected these sobriquets out of an active desire to do evil but rather because the nature of evil is subjective. He is a man of morals, of causes and of aptitudes; those things have led him to commit egregious sins of historic proportions. The law means nothing to him; the suffering of others means nothing to him. He has no pity, no compassion and no remorse. He has only desire, he has only goals.

=Character Background=

==Childhood==
{{Quote|I never fit in and they hated me for it|, Etah to his apprentice Adrestia circa 34 ABY}}

===38 BBY (0 YO)===
Like most Younglings of the Jedi Order, Etah doesn’t know the circumstances of his birth. He knows for sure that he is half Pau’an and half human. Rumors he heard during his time at the Jedi Temple of Coruscant state that his father was Pau’an, his mother was human and that they were both political advisers to different senators on Coruscant. He was also told that neither one of them had any interest in being his parent, a fact that kept him from searching for them long after he left the Jedi Order.

Instead of being raised in a warm home by a loving father and mother like normal people in the galaxy; he was raised in the temples interior dormitories and classrooms by frigid Jedi monks. Instead of a schoolyard his recess was on the temples mediation balconies and around its stained-glass arcades, statues and tapestries; most often by himself as he never felt accepted by other younglings.

Like all Jedi younglings as Etah grew older he began learning how to use the Force, to meditate and the arts of combat and diplomacy. He was a middle of the road student, being neither weak nor strong in any particular subject and therefore he was effectively invisible to most of his instructors. Much of his free time as a pre-teen and teenager was spent in the branches of the gnarled, ancient tree that stood in the shadow of the Temple's five crowning spires, a metaphor for his loneliness.

The older he became the more often Etah got into trouble. He was often found at the contemplation station outside of the Chamber of Judgment, awaiting punishment for some minor or not so minor infraction. He had begun bullying other students and being disruptive in the classroom. By the time he left the Jedi Temple he had broken nearly every single rule that wasn't accompanied by expulsion or imprisonment.

When the time came around for his Crucible Etah accompanied his class to the Temple world of Ilum. During the Crucible no saber crystals seemed to call to him and no amount of instruction was helping him. Later in the trial, deep in one of the caverns he came across a lone student who had found their crystal. He took the kyber crystal from the other teenager and threatened to beat the other student if he told on Etah. The other student took the threat to heart and told no one. At the end of the night, he watched the youngling he stole the crystal from, being singled out as the only youngling to fail their trial and have not earned the right to be chosen as a Padawan.

==Young Adulthood==
{{Quote|Since they couldn't love me for who I was, I decided to make them fear me for what I could do|, Etah to Adrestia circa 34 ABY}}

===23 BBY (15 YO)===
When the time came for Etah to be chosen by a Jedi for training as a Padawan Learner no Jedi Master or Jedi Knight would have anything to do with him. Either they didn't believe Etah would add value to their legacy within the Jedi Order or they didn't want the headache of being accompanied by a defiant student. Finally Jedi Master Pong Krell took the lad under his wing, promising to break Etah of his bad habits.

Pong Krell, a four-armed Besalisk had a reputation as an especially powerful Jedi Master and a very skilled leader. He was also strict and severe, showing even less compassion to his Padawan than the Jedi monks in the Temple had shown him as a youngling. He was dismissive of his student’s failures and expressed disappointment when Etah lacked the ability to succeed in his tasks. Krell’s praise was sparing but Etah sought it with determination.

One exercise that Master Krell would do regularly was to take his half Pau’an Padawan to the roof of the Temple's ziggurat and test him in lightsaber combat, Etah’s one lightsaber against the Jedi Masters two lightsaber staffs. Effectively fighting four lightsabers welded by a Jedi Master to his one, inexpertly wielded blade, the Padawan was generally overwhelmed. Krell would berate his student for his weakness and then would continue the exercise until the young Padawan was on the verge of exhaustion, his performance becoming worse and worse the more tired he became.

Sick of failing his master and being degraded for it, Etah doubled his efforts in training. Over his first year under the tutelage of Master Krell, Etah grew very strong in the force and all other forms and combat, surpassing many of his peers. He came to enjoy exceeding people’s expectations and outperforming others who thought they were better than him, publicly humiliating his rivals as often as he could.

The combination of not receiving enough love when he was a child and learning that his path to acceptance was raw achievement as a young adult took a toll on the young man’s psyche. Were he a normal person he would have sought counseling, instead he used these difficulties as an impetus for achievement. As his mind and body grew in strength and power his soul began growing corrupt. Unlike most, Etahs fall to the Dark Side began many years before he left the Jedi Order.

===22 BBY (16 YO)===
Shortly after the Clone Wars began, Etah was commissioned as a Jedi Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic under the direct command of Jedi General Pong Krell. Their first engagement was the [[starwars:Battle of Falleen|Battle of Falleen]], which also ended as their biggest failure. The Confederacy of Independent Systems destroyed an entire Republic battle group in the skies above Falleen. General Krell’s Clone Trooper legion didn’t fare much better on the planet below.

Facing a larger droid army than would ever be fielded on any other world, for the rest of the conflict, the general ordered a direct charge. In the resultant chaos the Legion was cut to ribbons, only a regiment sized group was still standing on the other side of the charge, the survivors of the Legion managed to make it back their drop ships and escape the planet. Slipping past the enemy ships in orbit, they joined the Republic fall back point at Bothawui. On that planet General Krell and Commander Etah led what was left of their Legion in a defense against a droid Army during the [[starwars:Battle of Bothawui|Battle of Bothawui]].

After the Battle of Bothawui, Jedi Master Krell was assigned a new Clone Trooper Legion to replace the Clone Legion that was largely shot out from under him. Etah commanded the survivors of the original Legion forming the veteran Black Sheep Regiment. Some historians’ attribute Jedi Master Krell’s widely regarded battlefield success as resulting from the extra veteran combined arms regiment with unique abilities that reinforced his more traditional Legion.

Etah ran his regiment differently than other Jedi Commanders. He treated his troopers more like human soldiers than bio-droids. He oversaw the organization of the regiment through interest and merit rather than through genetic markers. If a Clone Trooper was genetically bred and trained to be a heavy gunner but made a good scout, that Clone was allowed to serve as a scout; is a trooper was designed to be a follower but made a good leader they were promoted. Consequently his troopers were easily some of the happiest troopers in the Republic and they were also an incredibly cohesive and effective fighting force.

The reinforced Legions first action was on the far flung world of Murkhana. Republic Captain Wilhuff Tarkin commanded the fleet during the [[starwars:Battle of Murkhana|Battle of Murkhana]], which primarily engaged the HoloNet relay the Shadowfeed was working on. Jedi Master Krell led an assault on the world, destroying a vast droid army and destroying important civilian infrastructure that would leave much of the surface of the planet devastated. In the wake of this battle, Etah began to truly feel like a soldier.

===21 BBY (17 YO)===
Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, impressed with General Krell’s actions on Murkhana, asked the Jedi Master to accompany him back to the world of Falleen and on to the world of Russan. It turns out these planets were critical to the trade routes of the Governors world of Eradu and Count Dooku had promised access to these areas, all the way to the Confederacy Capital in Antar, if he would forsake the Republic in favor of the Confederacy. Rather than betray the Republic Tarkin got the Republic Senate to authorize a campaign to liberate this important trade route.

Having been raised to the rank of Jedi High General, Master Krell commanded a second Clone Legion. The Black Sheep Regiment landed first, drawing the fire from most of the droid army, which was much smaller than it was in the first battle on Felleen. The two legions landed on either side of the droid Army that now surrounded the Black Sheep Regiment, and crushed the droid Army in between them. The Black Sheep took heavy loses but they savored their victory.

Etah having shown adeptness at integrating Clones into his regiment was given more reinforcements, not from new Clones but from other Clone orphans that found themselves without a legion. The [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]] Campaign happened very quickly, as Etah’s reinforced Regiment acted as a spearhead and Master Krell’s legions flanked the droid Army on both sides, crushing them. Loses in this conflict were few and far between.

Not long after their victory on Ruusan, Master Krell was called to the Kamino system, to defend the Cloning facilities from Confederacy attack. Leaving Krell’s two Legions behind to reinforce Falleen and Ruusan, they took only the Black Sheep Regiment. Krell determined that the most likely attack would come from below the waves, an assessment Master Kenobi rejected because he assumed the Droids would take a more direct route.

The Black Sheep Regiment took on a small droid Army during the [[Starwars:Battle of Kamino|Battle of Kamino]] that attacked the rear of Tipoca City. They destroyed the droids without difficulty and by the time the last droid fell, Tipoca City was safe. This would be the last time Etah would see Krell, as he had a separate assignment from the Jedi Council. The Black Sheep Regiment stayed on Kamino to defend from a possible second attack on the important world.

===20 BBY (18 YO)===
With the execution of Master Krell at the hands of the Clones of the 501st legion, Etah turned over his lightsaber to the Jedi Order. The Jedi was a place that never felt like home to him, he felt like an outsider at best and a prisoner at worst. With the suspicion surrounding him following his master’s fall to the Dark Side, he decided it simply wasn’t worth it to continue the farce any longer. He was more of a soldier and military commander than he ever was a mediator or diplomat.

In the last year Etah had begun dressing like a trooper, he even cut his hair to look more like a clones and he took his meals in the mess hall with the rest of the officers from his regiment. He trained in military strategy and practiced marksmanship, but never meditation or lightsaber fighting. Quite honestly the change wasn't difficult for him and he never missed his harsh master. The Kaminoans offered him the rank of Master Chief, the continued command of the Black Sheep regiment and the ability to train clones and Etah accepted.

While Etah was planning on settling in for a quiet life of training new Clones, Admiral Tarkin had other plans. He still needed an Army to secure that trade route for his home world. He saw to it that Etah was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and expunged any reference to having been a Jedi from Etah’s service record. He was instead listed as a human that had worked as a Jedi Temple security guard from Coruscant that had been hired by the Kaminoans as a Master Chief to train Clones before being commissioned directly into the Grand Army of the Republic.

During the [[Starwars:Battle of Sullust|Battle of Sullust]] as the much more important fight was happening in the skies above the planet, Etah and his Black Sheep Regiment who continued to be happy under his leadership, decimated a droid army on the planet below. The victory ensured that the planet would remain free from Confederate influence and that the Republic forces in the area wouldn't be surprised. Most importantly, Sullust happened to be near Eradu. Admiral Tarkins own world of Eradu was facing a separatist crisis. A political rival of Tarkins on Eradu had allied himself with the Confederacy and called on Count Dooku for reinforcements to free their world from Republic oppression.

Etah and the Black Sheep Regiment which by now was nearly two regiments strong and could be more properly termed a Legion, landed just behind the Droid Army. Breaking into three elements, one battalion on each side of the Droid Army maneuvered themselves toward the main body of the droid army, then away and then around. The droid Army broke ranks to chase the side elements, themselves separating into three elements and were eventually positioned with their backs to each other. The main body of the small Legion then pushed hard, destroying every droid in front them all the way to the other body of Clones. The traitor was arrested before the day was through.

===19 BBY (19 YO)===
At the behest of Admiral Tarkin, the Black Sheep Regiment spearheaded an attack on the Confederacy stronghold of Sluis Van. The planet was well defended as their shipyards were incredibly important to the Confederacies cause. So the strike was very rapid. The Black Sheep dropped in, killed everyone they could see, blew the shipyards and disappeared. They didn't intend to pacify the planet but in destroying the shipyards, the Black Sheep regiment did ensure the Galactic Empire would take control of the planet at the end of the conflict.

Yag'Dhul was a very important trade world, intersecting the Rimma Trade Route and the Corellian Trade spine, making the world a key component to the economy of the Confederacy of Independent systems. The Givens abilities with mathematics also made them an important asset to the Confederacy. Like Sluis Van, the Black Sheep Regiment didn't outright pacify the planet but they did destroy the Confederate shipyards.

Waiting until the First Fleet of the Confederacy was out of system, the Black Sheep regiment slipped onto the world in the dead of the night. The Black Sheep Troopers remained very mobile and fluid and harassed and terrorized the Givin. Their primary goal was to prove to the mathematicians of the planet that the Confederacy could not protect them or ensure them a high quality of life. Their secondary goal was to make the world unsafe for trade. After a month of using gorilla hit and run tactics that were sporadic enough that no Givin mathematician could write an accurate predictive algorithm.

The Black Sheep Regiment left Yag’Dhul as suddenly as they came and headed to Utapau on the Orders of the Supreme Chancellor himself. The Regiment descended upon a planet already in chaos, already in battle. General Obi-wan and the 501st Legion was engaging the Separatist Council, including head of state Grievous. The Black Sheep instead of being part of that mess kept the droid armies busy who tried to flank the 501st, turning droid army after droid army into scrap metal. Pitched fighting was Etah’s least favorite situation to be in but for this battle that is where the Black Sheep needed to be.

Etah was not there when the 501st fired on Obi-Wan toward the end of the Battle of Utapau, but he visibly flinched when he was informed later on. But none of his clones who remembered him as a Jedi Commander dared say anything. Etah assumes to this day that he was spared from the much discussed Order 66 based on the alteration of his service record. He also found himself in the strange position of being on the world of his ancestors at a time he was unwilling to divulge his non-human ancestry as the Clone Wars ended and the Republic gave way to the Galactic Empire.

==Imperial Service==

===18 BBY (20 YO)===
Etah and the Black Sheep Regiment stayed on Utapau for several months, as the Clone Wars gave way to the Declaration of a New Order. The young Lieutenant Colonel explored the planet and the culture, receiving some knowing looks from Pau’ans who literally viewed him as an infant. They didn’t stay on the Utapau for too long however, the newly titled Moff Tarkin needed Etah and his Black Sheep regiment on Antar 4, the former capital of the Confederacy of Independent systems.

The Black Sheep were different than most Clone Regiments; they had the advantages of lab bred genetic superiority, but also due to Etah’s leadership style, they were able to adapt to situations in ways that other clones were not. This made them perfect to hunt down and eliminate former Confederates in what would eventually come to be called the Antar Atrocity.

As the Galactic Empire cemented its grip on the galaxy, it wanted to punish rebellious worlds, formerly loyal members of the Republic who had sided with the Confederacy. Antar 4 was a perfect world for this kind of retribution. Over the period of a year, the Black Sheep at the behest of Moff Tarkin and in concert with other Imperial elements arrested and executed large swaths of former Confederates. At the end of what the media had dubbed an atrocity, Etah followed the now Grand Moff Tarkin into the outer rim.

===17 BBY (21 YO)===
Bereft of the financial support of the Techno Union and the Trade Federation and beset by the nascent Galactic Empire, many backwater planets in the Western Reaches that had formerly supported the Confederacy banded together becoming collectively known as Separatist holdouts. Some of them would not give up the idea of a Confederacy of Independent systems, while others were dissatisfied with the Imperial Reconstruction; a few were even unaware that the Clone Wars had ended. After the Antar 4 debacle, Moff Tarkin was sent to the Western Reaches in order to quell this miniature rebellion. With the Jedi Order as a distant memory and Imperial service as his present and future, Lieutenant Colonel Etah and the Black Sheep Regiment followed closely on the Moff’s heels.

The droid armies were deactivated but some of the organics that supported the Confederacy weren't willing to give up and those are who Etah and his Clones engaged. From planet to planet, world to world; the Black Sheep regiment, acting on intelligence provided by Naval Intelligence Agency attacked and destroyed secret Confederate bases and listening posts. Continuing the activities that had started on Antar 4, suspected former Confederates across the Western Reaches were arrested and executed, sometimes en mass. The fear of destruction caused many Confederate holdouts to give up and scatter; this was the beginning of Moff Tarkins doctrine of ruling by fear.

After Moff Tarkin was reassigned to Sentinel Base later in the year, the Black Sheep answered to Vice Admiral Dodd Rancit of the Naval Intelligence Agency. As Tarkin faded from Etah’s life the Clone Wars finally ended for Etah, but not war itself or the service it required. The Clone Wars might have ended, but the Galactic Civil War picked up right where the Clone Wars left off. The fighting would not end, the death would not end; he would come to embody chaos as perpetual conflict became part of him.

The childhood Etah spent within the Jedi Order was strange to him now. He almost felt like he was recalling someone else's past, that he was a soldier with a padawans memories. He was so mentally and emotionally removed from the Jedi Order than he couldn't imagine a future in which he stayed with the Jedi Order, a line of thought made more poignant by the Jedi bones littering battlefields across the galaxy.

===14 BBY (24 YO)===
Promoted to the rank of Colonel, Etah with the remainder of his Black Sheep Regiment was transferred to oppose the [[starwars:Ryloth Insurgency|Ryloth Insurgency]] under the oversight of the local Imperial Moff. He was there to replace a traitorous Imperial Colonel that had been assisting Free Ryloth. This was not an illustrious post, it was a dead end assignment; the answer of what to do with a wartime relic that knew more about tactics than he did politics.

The next nine years would not be particularly memorable, it was just a grind. The fighting was fierce but sparse, the Imperials possessed a numerical and technological advantage but the fighting spirit and righteous fury of the Twi'lek rebels in addition to their intimate knowledge of the area made the theater particularly difficult to manage. For every Imperial that died, ten Twi'leks died; but in the end it was the Imperials that felt defeated.

One by one the Clones of his Regent fell, at first replaced by the last of the Clones from elsewhere and then by human recruits. By the time he left Ryloth; the Regiment he commanded would look nothing like the Black Sheep. Bearing that name, Etah thought but did not say, was an insult to the real men of the Black Sheep regiment, the Clones who fought greater battles than these pretenders could ever even dream of.

Nine years after arriving and entering the fight, Free Ryloth showed no signs of stopping. No amount of war, no amount of death, no number of atrocities would end this war. Nothing would dampen the fighting spirit of the Twi'lek. This experience left a bad taste in Etah's mouth and he became less motivated in his Imperial Service and more bitter. He felt no sadness or shame when he was transferred to Corescant.

===4 BBY (34 YO)===
Etah was transferred to Coruscant to serve as the Commandant of the [[starwars:Royal Imperial Academy|Royal Imperial Academy]] and part of him was happy. Though as a colonel the move wasn't actually a promotion, this was a fairly prestigious posting, especially in comparison to his prior posting to Ryloth. Which meant his career was finally going somewhere. But it was also melancholy; he knew his field assignments were behind him, that he would likely never see combat again as an officer of men.

The former Master Chief knew it was a little strange, for a long serving Storm Trooper Officer to be put in charge of a school that largely produced candidates for the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Security Bureau. What they told him is that the Empire wanted a combat veteran with unshakable loyalty to command the post, but he could read the writing on the wall and he understood that he was being put out to pasture.

The Commandants job largely consisted of paperwork, but he also taught a few classes including history, philosophy and basic tactics and he relished those classes. He he took what joy from his job that he could. He walked the halls with pride, knowing that he was special, that he made a difference in the hearts and minds of the next generation of Imperial Officers. In some of his personal correspondents he remarked that that this posting would make his memory live on with the Imperials that walked those halls.

==Imperial Werewolves==
{{Quote|Conquer or die!|, Etah said, speaking the motto of the Werewolves as he kicked in the door of a burning building circa 5 ABY}}

===4 ABY (42 YO)===
About eight years after Etah transferred to the Royal Imperial Academy, the Emperor was killed. On Coruscant there was cheering in the streets at the death of the Emperor until Riot Control Storm Troopers mounted a crack down, dispersing the assembly. But after the Storm Troopers suppressed the celebration, the people of Coruscant began organized protests and fought back in large numbers driving the Storm Troopers into hiding. The Commandant took control of the shattered remnants of Storm Trooper Legions through sheer force of personality and organized them into guerrilla cells, dubbing them the Imperial Werewolves.

The way the Werewolves commonly operated is that numerous small teams would arrive at mass demonstrations and coordinate attacks to inflict massive casualties before disappearing. If there were no demonstrations, they would find the most densely packed open air civilian areas and wound as many people possible. They focused on wounding in order to create gruesome sights and sounds and to overwhelm local medical resources. They would also often use these massive public attacks as a screen for smaller infantry strikes at more strategic locations. Their goal was not just to score the big public attack to scare the common man but also to hamper their enemies ability to organize and supply themselves.

For the first year the Imperial Werewolves operated they still had the support of the government of Coruscant. So they operated from government installations with the support of government warehouses. But after the Galactic Concordance and the formal surrender of the Empire, they operated out of safe houses, struck from the lower levels and kept stock of their own supplies which were largely liberated from the nascent New Republic.

==Prison and Escape==
{{Quote|There's a place out there for someone like you|, Selene to Etah circa 18 ABY}}

===9 ABY (47 YO)===
For five years the Imperial Werewolves were public enemy number one and greatly hampered the New Republics actives on Coruscant. Some sources suggest this is why locations other than Coruscant were chosen for the New Republic capital. The Werewolves were always too quick and too well organized for the New Republic to get the drop on them, but after several years of successful operations, the New Republic finally penetrated their organization. They got a former Storm Trooper who was a New Republic intelligence agent to successfully join the Werewolves.

The revolution ended fairly rapidly after that. Arrest followed by arrest followed by arrest and before long Etah found himself in the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center, a high-security prison located on the planet Coruscant. The next nine years would weigh heavy on the man that Etah would become. Though he had been a soldier, though he had been a True Believer in the New Order, he hadn't been a terrorist until he was. Prison gave him much time for reflection.

Etah hadn't even attempted to use the force in years, decades actually. It did manifest itself in subtle, unconscious ways over the years that made him seem like an above average soldier such as precognition and amplification making him unnaturally fast. But he never used the more vulgar force powers such as telekenisis. But during his imprisonment, he had nothing but time and the dark confines of his cell often found him in meditation.

Nine years slowly churned by. He started using sticks to practice lightsaber forms in the dark aloneness of his cell, in addition to practicing his force powers. He had nothing better, nothing more enlightening, and nothing more entertaining to do with his time. Turning to long forgotten traditions in his time of need, something awoke within him that he had not felt since he was a young man among the Jedi. He wouldn't know til many years later, but he raised a few eyebrows and gained attention that he was unprepared for.

===18 ABY (56 YO)===
One day, nine years into his life sentance a prison riot broke out. On that day he would come face to face with Selene d’Tana, a human female who would weigh heavy on his immediate future. She represented a powerful underworld collective known as the d'Tana Consortium. She was also a Dark Jedi, the d'Tana's had caught wind of his abilities and that he was possibly a lost Jedi who went on to serve the Empire and they decided to bust him out.

Using her contacts Selene got him off of the prison grounds. They traveled to the lower levels where Etah led them to an old Werewolf safe house and they laid low for a few days’ time until agents of the Consortium were able get to them and spirited the two away. Etah, Selene and the handful of people on the small Corellian freighter all headed for a place he had never heard of before but would play a big role in his future; Dajorra.

The former Commandant still didn't understand what he was in for. Etah's years in prison had fundamentally changed him or at least how he thought of himself. He didn't think of himself as a prisoner or ex-convict. But neither did he think of himself simply as a soldier or as a military officer. The force was alive within him, but he was certain that he wasn't a Jedi. But little did he know that he was heading to exactly the right place to answer his questions.

==The Clan of Shadows==
{{quote|The shadows have always been a comfort to me|, Etah to Selene circa 19 ABY}}

===19 ABY (57 YO)===
On arrival to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood Commandant Etah, became Apprentice Etah, an entry level member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He was originally assigned to the House Oriens Obscurum and was slated to be mentored by Dark Jedi Knight Callus Bo'Amar. But very soon after joining the Clan Arcona and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the former terrorist was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then-Sergeant Selene d’Tana, who he had met at the prison. This would establish a mentorship from then until her first departure from Arcona. His infantry background and his knowledge of asymmetric warfare bolstered the strength of the elite Battle Team.

[[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, Proconsul of the Clan Arcona at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing officially as his Apprentice. Most of their training sessions involved heavy drinking but the former Storm Trooper still advanced very quickly under the Ewoks tutelage, advancing from [[Apprentice]] to [[Guardian]] in just a month. Etah remembers this time fondly.

After a serving as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force for a time, the young Guardian Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]] where he led for roughly a year and a half. Etah remembers this task as being very frustrating because many of his phyle members were higher ranking than him within the Brotherhood and would not take direction.

===20 ABY (58 YO)===
Deputy Grand Master [[Aristan Dantes]], summoned Proconsul Koskian d’Tana of the Clan Arcona and Proconsul [[Phoenix]] of the [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] separately, to meet with him on [[Antei]]. The two Proconsuls got involved in a scuffle. A short spat between both Clans ensued that included Phoenix abducting Etah and beating him, though not severely. Arcona crushed Scholae Palatinae and Phoenix immediately halted hostilities. Unbeknownst to most, the entire conflict was driven by a friendly bet between the two Proconsuls, and roughing up Koskian's apprentice was just for fun. Phoenix would later join the d’Tana family and ascend to its highest ranks.

After returning from an undercover mission to Eldar, the d'Tana family indicated that he along with a Nagai named [[Rho]] had been accepted into the family. Both men were already affiliated with the Consortium but joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men; Mafiosos whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family while being under the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]], both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. Selene -- the pretty young woman that convinced the family to spring him from prison -- died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah, knowing no other home but Arcona, choose to remain among the shadow Clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

After being inducted into the family Etah was put in charge of the legitimate Tana Consortium front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, and originally used as a legal front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's, Etah was in charge of the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

When a majority of the Clan Arcona and indeed the entire brotherhood was called to the Antei system by the Grand Master at the time, Etah stayed behind in the Dajorra system. The Arconan Fleet and most of its Dark Jedi left to join all the other Clans in a joint military exercise called Operation: Second Darkness. Etah stayed behind to both study the Dark Side of the Force and to deal with his growing mental instability.

===21 ABY (59 YO)===
As his final trial to become a Dark Jedi Knight, Etah’s Master Psyko, sent him to the planet Kiffex to retrieve the holocron of Dark Acolyte Sogr Kjah, who was a master of Soresu and served a mighty Sith Warlord in a great historical war. Etah traveled to this far away world, made into the Temple and found his way to the holocron but as he retrieved the holocron, the temple, including the floor underneath his feet began to crumble.

Etah escaped the tomb with the holocron, but was accosted by a pack of wild mindless Anzati. Kiffar villagers retrieved him and nursed him back to health. As he became stronger he interacted with the holocron of Sogr Kjah which among other things reminded him of the process he learned so long ago as a Jedi Padawan, to create a lightsaber and taught him the rudiments of the Soresu style of lightsaber fighting.

The adventure concluded with him destroying a beast called the Demurgima that had been ravaging the villagers who had saved him and retrieving its heart which could be used as a lightsaber focusing crystal. Using the Demurgima heart to finish his lightsaber, he battled hordes of wild Anzati and the ancient Sith spirit that was imprisoned on the world and who was controlling the Anzati.

Upon his return the new Dark Jedi Knight took up his first role within the Shadow Academy, Etah became the Ecclesiastic Pedagogue of a subject entitled General Leadership. For the next several years he would visit the Shadow Academy facility on Lyspair to tutor young, prospective Battle Team Leaders on basic leadership subjects and the Dark Brotherhoods chain of command and reporting system. As a former Master Chief and Commandant, he assumed this role easily and enjoyed it immensely.

Following the Clan Arconas return to Dajorra Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active, though uninspired leadership helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition during early 21 ABY. The former Jedi gave no objections about the choice of [[Sashar Arconae|Sashar]] as [[Quaestor]] to [[Consul]] [[Timeros], but Sashar, it seemed, had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The old trooper had no time to grouse however, as the Extra Galactic aliens chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconans that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short period.

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Alien Invasion]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent [[Shadesworn]] cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time. The cult of shadows suited his personality as a Storm Trooper and foreshadowed his later embracing of the ideals of the Clan of Death.

Following the Alien Invasion, [[Mejas Doto]] re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah believed in the competition that he had rightfully earned the Quaestorship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism; [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Quaestor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediately followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events caused a rift between Etah and much of Arcona that would never be fully reconciled, but would wane just a bit.

==The Shadesworn==
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|, - Etah in a communique to the House Galeres, circa 24 ABY}}

===22 ABY (60 YO)===
22 ABY was a very slow year for Etah and most in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Arconan Fleet hovered in space without purpose, avoiding the marauding Extra Galactic Aliens; going nowhere in particular but taking great pains not to be found. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Sashar was using his influence over Mejas Doto to systematically drive out those not specifically loyal to him, cementing his eventual rise to power. Most went silently into the night, but Etah fought hopelessly against the rising tide.

===23 ABY (61 YO)===
Clan Plagueis’s Jusadih system didn’t need to be evacuated two years earlier, when most of the Dark Brotherhood systems were forced to. But in 23 ABY the extra galactic aliens began moving toward the system. Plagueis asked for assistance from Clan Scholae Palatinae, sworn enemy (at the time) of Clan Arcona. So when Scholae Palatinae rushed to the aid of Clan Plagueis, Arcona attempted to ambush the home system of Scholae Palatinae which also hadn’t been evacuated.

The civil war was interrupted by the aliens who arrived in the system and the three Clans worked together to defeat them. Following their victorious battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, the fleet of the Dark Council arrived. There was a black ops mission by the Soulfire Brigade in order to put Scholae Palatinae in an awkward position, but that operation was ultimately unsuccessful. Etah was the Commander of Aerospace Group (CAG) of the elite Blue Mist Squadron during this conflict and was a factor in the combined Joint Task Forces success against the aliens.

===24 ABY (62 YO)===
Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also useful. The ongoing, public conflict between the two put the Obelisk Templar on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially-unofficially led by Timeros Entar. As an outsider the old soldier was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man could have been a friend and ally in other circumstances.

With the Clan of Shadows approaching its greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Quaestors of both houses, both of whom were thought to be his cronies, though ironically both of them went on to join the Dark Council. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the sudden shift of power forced the Entar into the Quaestorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was officially back in good standing with his Clan and a great threat from within was eliminated.

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt its fleet. It decided that 24 ABY was the proper time to return to Antei and to take it back from the Extra Galactic Invaders by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan Vong they were planning to face had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In their place however, was a crackpot Jedi Master named Omancor Crask, leading a band of anachronistic Jedi that had somehow obtained an army of automatons. The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and their metal golems.

Grand Master Aristan Dantes killed Omancor Crask in one-on-one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en masse. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reoccupying the system. Upon returning to Dajorra, it was found that the Garconan spice veins were tapped out. With Dajorran planets devoid of spice and the destruction of Coronada Station the d’Tana family made the decision that the future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

===25 ABY (63 YO)===
A short time after the war, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprenticeship to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentor's footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory in 25 ABY, Etah was elevated to Krath Archpriest and received a token of the Clans faith in him, in the form of a Seal of Loyalty. Not long after the Great Jedi War, Etah succeeded Timeros as Quaestor of House Galeres; and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order for reasons not publically stated.

Etah's tenure as Quaestor of the House Galeres started strong, as he worked with the Pronconsul to institute Project Reb00t, which was a dramatic restructuring of the Clan that didn’t ultimately perform well and as the Shadesworn organization made their existence known to the whole Clan. But during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, [[Zakath]], and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===26 ABY (64 YO)===
Though they are not years that stand out well to him amongst his memories 26 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]], leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its nightmarish insect-like inhabitants that possessed freakish abilities which lay outside of the force. He recalls being wet and cold, he recalls being in combat but he doesn't remember any specifics. This mission was dangerious and miserable but provided no signifigant logistical or stratigic challenges, so Etah fell back into muscle memory.

After stepping down from Quaestor, he was hired as Rollmaster of the House Galeres which in the Clan Arcona was being termed Magistrate to the Consul at the time. His project was to gather and coallate massive amounts of data about the Clan Arcona and produce a comprehensive report called the Prospectus. It was a boring time but he counts this as one of his greatest achievements, even though Arcona never really recognized him for the amount of work he put into the project. Several elements of his report are still utilized by the Clan Arcona.

===27 ABY (65 YO)===
Etah resigned from his position as Magistrate to the Consul just in time for hostilities on Antei to boil over in what is now termed Operation: Disorder Etah joined the rest of the Obelisk Order in attacking and destroying the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army. The assembled Obelisk then occupied the hallowed halls of the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] which they then defended from [[Sith]] Incursion in one of the few instances of Dark Jedi attacking Dark Jedi directly and openly. It was no surprise the militant Obelisk was victorious over the power hungry Sith and the studious Krath.

The more exposure to the Dark Side of the Force Etah recieved, the more he was twisted by it or as he would likely think; the more he twisted it to him. His habits became more peculiar as time went on. He began talking to himself and had developed a facial twitch. Sometimes people would go missing and the evidence would point to Etah as the last person who likely spoke with them or saw them alive. A few of these were lower ranking Dark Jedi but most were mundane members of the Dajorra Expeditionary Fleet. There were always questions, but never enough evidence to prove that he was murdering random people.

===28 ABY (66 YO)===
Not long after Operation: Disorder Etah stepped up as Battle Team Leader of Black Hammer. Black Hammer was an elite combined arms unit, consisting of air, armor and infantry elements which attacked their targets swiftly. The old Imperial Colonel whipped the Battle Team into shape, both on paper and in function. Using time tested military tactics, used extensively in the Clone Wars the Black Hammer Brigade became the shock troops of the Clan Arcona. He then promptly handed the team off.

While he was Commander of the Black Hammer Brigade, Etah was chosen by Justicar Kir Taldrya Katarn to serve as his Left Hand of Justice. Not long after stepping down from the field Command, Etah assumed the office of Left Hand of Justice. This would be a post he held for nearly two years, much longer than anyone had in the past. But there were no high profile cases during this time period. Instead, the first year mostly consisted of menial paperwork, but he spent the second year also serving with the Clan Arcona.

===29 ABY (67 YO)===
A call to invade New Tython came from the Dark Council and Arcona eagerly responded, frothing at the mouth at the chance to extinguish the light Jedi blight from within the Brotherhood. Etah was involved in pre-planning the operation as he was many of the military operations within Clan Arcona.

Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reinforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit but Sashar Erinos died during this operation and Etah still feels conflicted about that.

Over the last several years Etah had watched the Erinos family, under Sashar’s careful control, come to dominate the Clan Arcona and became hostile to anyone that might jeopardize their grip on the Clan. This had been pattern had been interrupted by the placement of the new Consul, [[Wuntila Arconae]] and the rise of Galeres Quaestor [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sanguinius Entar]], setting both of these families on a collision course, with the remnant of Etah’s d’Tana Family trapped squarely in the middle.

In response to a possible Arconan civil war brought on by the arrogance of the Erinos Family, Etah went off the reservation and formulated a plan to assassinate Teroch Erinos, nephew of the fallen Sashar Erinos. His family members and the family’s allies and associates decided to follow him in the execution of that plan. But despite his determination, Etah was unsuccessful at his task and Consul Wuntila sent Etah’s mentor Timeros Entar to rein him in.

===30 ABY (68 YO)===
Following his assassination attempt on Teroch, Etah earned a vaunted and covited Dark Sage Law degree, and chose to travel to the Shadow Academy to receive the degree in person. While he was there, before the ceremony had a chance to commence, scores of journeyman Dark Jedi were reported to have lost their ability to control the force. Before the mystery of why could be solved, those same journeyman began to transform into mindless zombies. A small band of Equite Dark Jedi came together to try to escape the station and to try to contain the spread of the Horizons Zombie Virus.

During the adventure Etah allied with [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia]], who had succeeded him as Left Hand of Justice, to oppose [[Headmaster]] [[Ronovi Tavisaen]] and her [[Praetor]] [[Solus Gar]] as they attempted to destroy the Shadow Academy to keep the Horizons plague from spreading -- ignoring the obvious fact that virus had already spread beyond the walls of the Academy. Before the Academy was destroyed, the Dark Council had found a cure for the Horizons virus. Etah shook hands with Alaris and left the Shadow Academy at the earliest opportunity, skipping the ceremony he had arrived to attend.

Upon his return to Dajorra the Quaestor of House Galeres, Sanguinus Entar, who had a great amount of faith in Etah, placed him in command of the House’s premier unit, [[Spectre Cell}]. The old war horse wasn't use to a tactical level of combat but he picked up his old skills and habits pretty quickly. With knowledge and experiences learned in the Clone Wars and honed on Ryloth, Etah would lead the team well through several engagements.

Not long after his zombie misadventure, Etah lead Spectre Cell in an assault on a Super-class Star Destroyer Avenger II, at the very beginning of what would come to be called the Dark Crusade. Etah at the helm of Spectre Cell traveled to the Jusadih System and led his team in clearing the Bridge of a House Plagueis Capital ship of the mercenaries that the late Darth Zoraan had led into Brotherhood space. After securing the Plagueis ship the Obelisk Prelate led his team down to the surface of the planet Kapsina for more action.

The Dark Crusade began as dealing with the political fallout from the actions of now-dead Grand Master Zoraan, then continued as a Holy Crusade for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood to take and occupy the historically Sith planets in the Galaxy. The next year and a half was an exhausting seemingly never ending series of skirmishes with a mysterious rival Sith Faction all over ancient planets.

After several months of intensive combat operations in which Spectre Cell served on the front line of every Arconan mission, Etah had a massive falling out with Aedile Cethgus, someone whom he had never really respected to begin with. Following this spat, Etah stepped out of the Command of Spectre Cell and transferred to House Qel-Droma within the Clan Arcona and took up leadership of the Battle Team Shadow Gate.

===31 ABY (69 YO)===
Several years back the Clan Arcona had found an active pirate Space Port located just outside of the Dajorran system. They spent the next several years silently gaining control of the station, slowly turning it into a carefully constructed front. But, after all of that hard work on the part of House Qel-Droma, Arconan forces and safe houses across the station were suddenly overrun. It seemed that someone, at the very least, knew that an outside entity had taken control of the station.

Though Port Ol’val is a Qel-Droman asset, the Consul, Wuntila Entar, deemed the action a threat to the entire Clan. So Etah was assigned to a three-man team along with Legorii Kryotek Entar and Celevon Edraven and given an assignment. Though Celevon was largely absent, Etah and Legorii managed to get a lot of tasks accomplished. Underneath it all, this was a test of the members of Arcona, a Trial of Loyalty, so that Consul Wuntila Entar Arconae and Proconsul Marick Arconae knew who they could trust.

Battle Team Shadow Gate had been an archaeological team but was morphed by the Dark Crusade into something resembling a Special Forces unit. But it seemed ill-suited to the task and Etah's style never meshed with the group, so after leading the Battle Team Shadow Gate through a few skirmishes of the Dark Crusade, he resigned from command. As combat against the One Sith began winding down, Etah changed his Order to the Sith Order and was in short time promoted to Sith Battlelord for his long time service and his growing power.

==The Masters of Life and Death==
{{Quote|The shadows shepherded me towards death, because death exists within the darkest of shadows|, Etah to Hades, circa 32 ABY}}

===32 ABY (70 YO)===
Over the years Etah's outspokenness and lack of desire to conform had forced him to the fringes of the Clan Arcona. The Clans core leadership utilized him as a junior leader when they needed to and awarded him as little as they could get away with. Timeros was the only core leader in Arcona that supported him at all and he was the only reason Etah was recognized as a Battlelord. The former Storm Trooper was plagued by rumors of bone chilling screams emanating from dark cellars, and dark rooms with rows of skulls, with which he apparently sought counsel. Things of this nature were too inhuman for the squeamish grey Jedi of Arcona and made them very uncomfortable.

Etah eventually realized that he had traveled as far on his path with Arcona as he could go, and so the former Imperial began to look at his options. Tarentum, Arcona's greatest ally was the first place the Battlemaster considered as he sought to move beyond the shadows and onto the darker shades of death. Hades was the member of Tarentum most willing to meet with him and discuss his options. Hades convinced Etah to transfer, proving that he was needed and would be valued among the Masters of Life and Death. Not long after his arrival in the Yridian system, Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre recognized his potential and secured Etah's loyalty.

Etah's original mentor had been Psyko, as he progressed in power Timeros became his mentor. As Etah transitioned from the Clan of Shadows into the Masters of Life and Death, Bloodfyre became his mentor. Each new chapter in his journey became a new conduit for learning. As he progressed in power, learning the bulk of what he could learn from his current mentor, a new mentor was required. He knew that Bloodfyre was the master that would lead him into the ranks of the Dark Jedi elders.

The appropriately termed Operation: Fading Light involved mopping up the One Sith and bringing the Dark Crusade to a close. Etah not yet a leader among Tarentum performed admirably in ground battles jumping from Bosthirda, to Begeren, and finally to Nicht Ka in quick succession. The old Storm Trooper was able to prove his prowess in combat, performing particularly well on Nicht Ka. With the dust of Fading Light securing the path to Korriban, the last prize of the Dark Crusade, was within reach.

The very next year Tarentum began gearing up to join the rest of the Brotherhood in a massive assault on Korriban. But as he final layers of the onion were torn off, they revealed a rotten core. The underlying cause of the Dark Crusade was revealed to be the master stroke of many powerful Elders of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Tarentum supported the Clan Arcona in answering the call of the Dark Council and protecting Grand Master Muz.

The former House, now Clan Tarentum, wearily emerged from the conflict. They had done their part in ensuring the continuance of the Dark Council and the Brotherhood as it had been currently understood. Focusing inward Etah transferring within Tarentum to the new Battle Team Mortis, and began laying the foundation for a powerful House of Dark Jedi. It was this time that he began taking up the banner of the Grand Chamberlain in the face of other sects developing within the Clan.

===33 ABY (71 YO)===
As the Battleteam Mortis became the House Mortis, Etah was appointed to the position of Aedile of the new house. Unfortunately it was not so the Clan summit could watch him spread his wings and ascend to godhood. It was so that the Quaestorship could be delivered to someone without the experience to hold the position. He wasn't leading so much as he was baby sitting. This did not sit well with the Sith Battlelord and he eventually resigned as a new summit was appointed.

==The Deathsworn==
{{Quote|I have become death, destroyer of worlds|, Etah said during a ceremony circa 34 ABY}}

===34 ABY (72 YO) ===
The very next year Bloodfyre charged the Sith Battlelord with creating a cult dedicated to death, which would serve Bloodfyres interests. Taking the Shadesworn precepts he learned as a cultist of the Shadows in the Clan Arcona and translating them into a Cult of Death befitting the Clan of death, the Deathsworn were created. He served as the first Vicar or leader of the cult for a time before he was assigned elsewhere, remaining as a member of the Deathsworn cult but working on projects the summit assigned him.

During his time as Battle Team Leader Etah was confronted by a young female Selphi named Adrestia who sought to become his student in the force, and her wife, a Duro named Themis. Adrestia had been a member of Omancor Crask’s Jedi Order and her wife served as a pilot in his fleet, mainly to stay close to Adrestia. Following Master Crasks death they were both stranded in Dark Jedi space, on the run and in fear of their lives ever since. In response Etah lobbied the Summit to allow the membership of Gray Jedi, becoming a member of the Dark Brotherhood would shield Adrestia and her husband from random violence on the part of Dark Jedi

===35 ABY (73 YO)===
As he began focusing more and more time and energy on protecting the grays within Tarentum; the Battle Team Leader of the Deathsworn, commanded his loyalty and obedience and Etah declined stating that his loyalty was only to Bloodfyre and Tarentum and the latter only so long as it remained consistent with the former. The battle team leader objected and words were said. He left the battle team which he believed had become a watered down, almost useless version of the vision of greatness he had envisioned for the team.

During this time Etah’s Apprentice, Adrestia, became the Aedile of the Clan Tarentum’s House Liath in the lead up to a Great War that would rock the Great Jedi Brotherhood and serve as a test for the newest incarnation of the Clan Tatentum. Some of the gray Jedi she led did not appreciate Etah’s presence or influence but others pointed out his importance in their protection and still others pointed out that their own patron, Omancor Crask had been a Jedi Master and Grand Master equally.

=Appearance=
Etah’s hybrid Pau’an heritage is hidden within very human ascetics. He stands at six foot, two inches tall. His dark brown hair gets bushy as it grows long and his beard grows curly and wild looking; but often times he wears his hair short and his face is clear shaven. The Equites years of military service show in his posture which tends to be rigid, standing straight with his shoulders back. His shoulders are a bit wider than most, but his build is not muscle bound; solid is a word that would probably come to mind instead. The most visible piece of clothing former Imperial wears is a black and well-worn Armorweave Cloak, under which you see black armor. When in the field, he wears a white helmet shaped in the visage of a skull. The clothes and gear themselves are as practical as the visual effect is thematic and terrifying.

==Physical Appearance==
[[File:Etah_Portrait.jpg]]

=Psychological Profile=
Etah has a number of mental maladies that shape his personality and actions.

==Belonging==
As a young Jedi Etah never felt like he belonged to their order. He could never put his finger on why he was an outcast but he never felt accepted or comfortable among their number. This led to him developing a rabid need to be accepted. He chased that need into military service first in the Grand Army of the Republic and then in Imperial service and now he has chased that sense of belonging into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, first within Arcona and now within the ranks of Tatentum. This has allowed him to be manipulated into serving the ultimate goals of others in the past. Though he would never admit it his need to be accepted makes him the perfect goon,

==Dark Triad==
Etah is narcissistic, has Machiavellian tendencies, and exhibits traits of psychopathy. Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy. Machiavellianism is characterized by the habitual manipulation and exploitation of others, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and deception. Psychopathy is characterized by continuing antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness and remorselessness. Psychologists have called these traits collectively the dark triad and when possessed within one person can make them quite dangerous. Etah is a superficially charming person, like many sociopaths are, but underneath it all he is a mess and in response to his emotional disarray he has become a monster.

==Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder==
Jumping from the Clone Wars into Imperial military service, ending his military service with acts of terrorism, spending several years in a violent prison and then engaging in several years of near constant combat operations in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Etah doesn't have post-traumatic stress disorder just one time, he has gained PTSD several dozens of times. The result is an extreme version of PTSD primarily experienced by kidnapping victims, the victims of concentration or prisoner of war camps and victims of other kinds of long term physical and emotional abuse.

Complex PTSD causes Etah to have problems regulating his emotions which tends to result in persistent bouts of sadness that break into explosive fits of anger. Etah often shifts between an inability to remember his traumatic experiences and vividly reliving them through either daydreams or nightmares. Etah often feels shame and guilt for some of the experiences he has lived through. He is sometimes feels anxious, and paranoid. Complex PTSD feeds and sharpens Etah’s Dark Triad related symptoms, especially psychopathy.

==Disassociation==
Most people live in the moment, they live in their bodies. They see through their eyes, they live their life with intention. This is not always Etah’s experience. Sometimes Etah feels either as if he is the thing lurking within, looking through his face as if his face were a mask, partially removing himself from the situation. Other times he feels as if he is watching himself and the people around him from the above, totally removed for the situation. This is perhaps proves that there is still a moral center to him somewhere deep down and that he has to remove himself from his more heinous acts in order to assuage that unconscious morality.

==Otherness==
Most sentient beings in the galaxy feel somewhat connected, especially those of the one-head, two-arm, two-leg variety. There is at least an understanding that all sentient beings are similar or maybe it’s simply recognition of sentience itself. But Etah feels different. He has felt different all his life. Etah sees himself as totally removed from all other beings, a distinct form of life. It’s not something he can or does articulate, but it feeds all of his other negative traits. It feeds his grandiosity, the idea that he is different has become that he is more, which is simply over compensation for his feelings of weakness. It also feeds his callous disregard for others in the pursuit of his objectives.

If Etah were ever able to empathize with others, his behavior and personality would probably undergo a dramatic change. As it stands Sith Bloodfyre is the only being he has ever identified as being in any way like him, or rather he has identified that he is like Bloodfyre. Which has created within Etah, a hysteric sense of loyalty to Master Bloodfyre. A betrayal by Sith Bloodfyre would plunge Etah into an unfathomable mental state.

As Sith Bloodfyre in some ways views himself as an abstract representation of death, Etah is beginning to view himself as both the primordial embodiment of terror and as the abstract representation of terror, the harbinger of death. The more powerful he becomes, the more he slips into his delusions of grandeur; the less human he feels and the less connected to the world he is. He can’t be said to have broken out into fill schizophrenia yet, but there are worrying signs that his dark triad related symptoms combined with his strange feeling of otherness might spark breaks from reality within him.

=Possesions=
==Armorweave Cloak==
Etah's black and well worn armorweave cloak is one of his most faithful companions. It resembles a rain poncho but provides actual protection. When worn with his skull-like helmet, the Cloak creates the visual appearance of the Grim Reper.

==Clone Trooper Armor Phase II==
When in full battle rattle, Etah dons the specialized armor of the 214 Combined Arms Clone Trooper Regiment better known as the Black Sheep. In addition to containing a centralized HUD system, it is stripped down, omitting unnecessary pieces in order to maximize mobility. The armor from the neck down is black but the helmet is a stylized white skull.

==Droid:==
Etah’s BB unit astromech is black and silver, with what seems to be Imperial markings. Its nickname is BB Hate.

==Miscellaneous Equipment:==
Among other items that Etah carries is a voice modulator to mask the sound of his voice, an advanced scanner to feed into the HUD in his helmet, an elite shock collar to affect arrests when necessary, a holo projector for communication, a synthflesh dispenser in case of injury, and an aqua breather to allow him to breath underwater.

==Vehicles:==
===Starhawk Speeder Bike===
His speeder bike is all black and he uses it to disembark from his ship. This was a recent purchase but he has taken a liking to it.

===VT-49 Decimator===
This VT-49 can sustain a rate of fire greater than most vessels of its size. It can also take off faster than normal when it’s needed too. It’s hull is black all over.

==Weapons:==
===Knuckle-plate Vibroblade===
Etah doesn't wear a field knife like many soldiers are expected to. Instead he wears a knuckle-plate vibroblade. The blade itself is weighted to create a more dramatic impact, is obsidian in color and distributes a debilitating chemical to whosoevers skin is pierced with the meaty blade. The vibroblade itself is well hidden within the right glove of Etah's Phase II Clone Trooper Armor.

===BlasTech LL-30 Blaster Pistol===
This blaster pistol has been at Etah's side since he was a young man busting clankers. It looks beat up but fires in quicker succession than other blasters of the same type due to cooling vents being fitted into the sides.

===BlasTech DC-15A Blaster Rifle===
Like his pistol this rifle has been slung on his back since he was teenager. It looks beat up and also fires at a faster rate due to being fitted with cooling vents. One of Etah's field secrets is his rifles padded assault sling that keeps him from expending unnecessary energy.

===Lightsaber===
Etah made his first lightsaber as a Padawan, he constructed his second as a Dark Jedi Knight but as a Sith Battlelord he was bestowed an ancient saber of great power and pedigree. Anyone familiar with methods of construction will recognize the high level of artisanship that went into the construction of it. Etah thinks of it as a badge of nobility.

{{Quote|Death conquers all.|Etah said upon arrival to Yridia II, presenting himself to Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre circa 32 ABY}}

Etah is the embodiment of the evil that lurks in the hearts of man. War criminal, genocidal tyrant, terrorist, serial killer; he hasn't collected these sobrequets out of an active desire to do evil but rather because the nature of evil is subjective. He is a man of morals, of causes and of aptitudes; those things have led him to commit aggregious sins of historic perportions. The law means nothing to him; the suffering of others means nothing to him. He has no pity, no compassion and no remorse. He has only desire, he has only goals.

=Character Background=

==Childhood==
{{Quote|aquote|, by who circa when}}

===38 BBY (0 YO)===
Like most Younglings of the Jedi Order, Etah doesn’t know the circumstances of his birth. He knows for sure that he is half Pau’an and half human. Rumors he heard during his time at the Jedi Temple of Coruscant state that his father was Pau’an, his mother was human and that they were both political advisors to different senators on Coruscant. He was also told that neither one of them had any interest in being his parent, a fact that kept him from searching for them long after he left the Jedi Order.

Instead of being raised in a warm home by a loving father and mother like normal people in the galaxy; he was raised in the temples interior dormitories and classrooms by frigid Jedi monks. Instead of a schoolyard his recess was on the temples mediation balconies and around its stained-glass arcades, statues and tapestries; most often by himself as he never felt accepted by other younglings.

Like all Jedi younglings as Etah grew older he began learning how to use the Force, to meditate and the arts of combat and diplomacy. He was a middle of the road student, being neither weak nor strong in any particular subject and therefore he was effectively invisible to most of his instructors. Much of his free time as a pre-teen and teenager was spent in the branches of the gnarled, ancient tree that stood in the shadow of the Temple's five crowning spires, a metaphor for his loneliness.

The older he became the more often Etah got into trouble. He was often found at the contemplation station outside of the Chamber of Judgment, awaiting punishment for some minor or not so minor infraction. He had begun bullying other students and being disruptive in the classroom. By the time he left the Jedi Temple he had broken nearly every single rule that wasn’t accompanied by expulsion or imprisonment.

When the time came around for his Crucible Etah accompanied his class to the Temple world of Ilum. During the Crucible no saber crystals seemed to call to him and no amount of instruction was helping him. Later in the trial, deep in one of the caverns he came across a lone student who had found their crystal. He took the kyber crystal from the other teenager and threatened to beat the other student if he told on Etah. The other student took the threat to heart and told no one. At the end of the night, he watched the youngling he stole the crystal from, being singled out as the only youngling to fail their trial and have not earned the right to be chosen as a Padawan.

==Young Adulthood==
{{Quote|aquote|, by who circa when}}

===23 BBY (15 YO)===
When the time came for Etah to be chosen by a Jedi for training as a Padawan Learner no Jedi Master or Jedi Knight would have anything to do with him. Either they didn’t believe Etah would add value to their legacy within the Jedi Order or they didn’t want the headache of being accompanied by a defiant student. Finally Jedi Master Pong Krell took the lad under his wing, promising to break Etah of his bad habits.

Pong Krell, a four-armed Besalisk had a reputation as an especially powerful Jedi Master and a very skilled leader. He was also strict and severe, showing even less compassion to his Padawan than the Jedi monks in the Temple had shown him as a youngling. He was dismissive of his student’s failures and expressed disappointment when Etah lacked the ability to succeed in his tasks. Krell’s praise was sparing but Etah sought it with determination.

One exercise that Master Krell would do regularly was to take his half Pau’an Padawan to the roof of the Temple's ziggurat and test him in lightsaber combat, Etah’s one lightsaber against the Jedi Masters two lightsaber staffs. Effectively fighting four lightsabers welded by a Jedi Master to his one, inexpertly wielded blade, the Padawan was generally overwhelmed. Krell would berate his student for his weakness and then would continue the exercise until the young Padawan was on the verge of exhaustion, his performance becoming worse and worse the more tired he became.

Sick of failing his master and being degraded for it, Etah doubled his efforts in training. Over his first year under the tutelage of Master Krell, Etah grew very strong in the force and all other forms and combat, surpassing many of his peers. He came to enjoy exceeding people’s expectations and outperforming others who thought they were better than him, publically humiliating his rivals as often as he could.

The combination of not receiving enough love when he was a child and learning that his path to acceptance was raw achievement as a young adult took a toll on the young man’s psyche. Were he a normal person he would have sought counseling, instead he used these difficulties as an impetus for achievement. As his mind and body grew in strength and power his soul began growing corrupt. Unlike most, Etahs fall to the Dark Side began many years before he left the Jedi Order.

===22 BBY (16 YO)===
Shortly after the Clone Wars began, Etah was commissioned as a Jedi Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic under the direct command of Jedi General Pong Krell. Their first engagement was the [[starwars:Battle of Falleen|Battle of Falleen]], which also ended as their biggest failure. The Confederacy of Independent Systems destroyed an entire Republic battle group in the skies above Falleen. General Krell’s Clone Trooper legion didn’t fare much better on the planet below.

Facing a larger droid army than would ever be fielded on any other world, for the rest of the conflict, the general ordered a direct charge. In the resultant chaos the Legion was cut to ribbons, only a regiment sized group was still standing on the other side of the charge, the survivors of the Legion managed to make it back their drop ships and escape the planet. Slipping past the enemy ships in orbit, they joined the Republic fall back point at Bothawui. On that planet General Krell and Commander Etah led what was left of their Legion in a defense against a droid Army during the [[Battle of Bothawui]].

After the Battle of Bothawui, Jedi Master Krell was assigned a new Clone Trooper Legion to replace the Clone Legion that was largely shot out from under him. Etah commanded the survivors of the original Legion forming the veteran Black Sheep Regiment. Some historians’ attribute Jedi Master Krell’s widely regarded battlefield success as resulting from the extra veteran combined arms regiment with unique abilities that reinforced his more traditional Legion.

Etah ran his regiment differently than other Jedi Commanders. He treated his troopers more like human soldiers than bio-droids. He oversaw the organization of the regiment through interest and merit rather than through genetic markers. If a Clone Trooper was genetically bred and trained to be a heavy gunner but made a good scout, that Clone was allowed to serve as a scout; is a trooper was designed to be a follower but made a good leader they were promoted. Consequently his troopers were easily some of the happiest troopers in the Republic and they were also an incredibly cohesive and effective fighting force.

The reinforced Legions first action was on the far flung world of Murkhana. Republic Captain Wilhuff Tarkin commanded the fleet during the [[starwars:Battle of Murkhana|Battle of Murkhana]], which primarily engaged the HoloNet relay the Shadowfeed was working on. Jedi Master Krell led an assault on the world, destroying a vast droid army and destroying important civilian infrastructure that would leave much of the surface of the planet devastated. In the wake of this battle, Etah began to truly feel like a soldier.

===21 BBY (17 YO)===
Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, impressed with General Krell’s actions on Murkhana, asked the Jedi Master to accompany him back to the world of Falleen and on to the world of Russan. It turns out these planets were critical to the trade routes of the Governors world of Eradu and Count Dooku had promised access to these areas, all the way to the Confederacy Capital in Antar, if he would forsake the Republic in favor of the Confederacy. Rather than betray the Republic Tarkin got the Republic Senate to authorize a campaign to liberate this important trade route.

Having been raised to the rank of Jedi High General, Master Krell commanded a second Clone Legion. The Black Sheep Regiment landed first, drawing the fire from most of the droid army, which was much smaller than it was in the first battle on Felleen. The two legions landed on either side of the droid Army that now surrounded the Black Sheep Regiment, and crushed the droid Army in between them. The Black Sheep took heavy loses but they savored their victory.

Etah having shown adeptness at integrating Clones into his regiment was given more reinforcements, not from new Clones but from other Clone orphans that found themselves without a legion. The [[Ruusan]] Campaign happened very quickly, as Etah’s reinforced Regiment acted as a spearhead and Master Krell’s legions flanked the droid Army on both sides, crushing them. Loses in this conflict were few and far between.

Not long after their victory on Ruusan, Master Krell was called to the Kamino system, to defend the Cloning facilities from Confederacy attack. Leaving Krell’s two Legions behind to reinforce Falleen and Ruusan, they took only the Black Sheep Regiment. Krell determined that the most likely attack would come from below the waves, an assessment Master Kenobi rejected because he assumed the Droids would take a more direct route.

The Black Sheep Regiment took on a small droid Army during the [[Starwars:Battle of Kamino|Battle of Kamino]] that attacked the rear of Tipoca City. They destroyed the droids without difficulty and by the time the last droid fell, Tipoca City was safe. This would be the last time Etah would see Krell, as he had a separate assignment from the Jedi Council. The Black Sheep Regiment stayed on Kamino to defend from a possible second attack on the important world.

===20 BBY (18 YO)===
With the execution of Master Krell at the hands of the Clones of the 501st legion, Etah turned over his lightsaber to the Jedi Order. The Jedi was a place that never felt like home to him, he felt like an outsider at best and a prisoner at worst. With the suspicion surrounding him following his master’s fall to the Dark Side, he decided it simply wasn’t worth it to continue the farce any longer. He was more of a soldier and military commander than he ever was a mediator or diplomat.

In the last year Etah had begun dressing like a trooper, he even cut his hair to look more like a clones and he took his meals in the mess hall with the rest of the officers from his regiment. He trained in military strategy and practiced marksmanship, but never meditation or lightsaber fighting. Quite honestly the change wasn’t difficult for him and he never missed his harsh master. The Kaminoans offered him the rank of Master Chief, the continued command of the Black Sheep regiment and the ability to train clones and Etah accepted.

While Etah was planning on settling in for a quiet life of training new Clones, Admiral Tarkin had other plans. He still needed an Army to secure that trade route for his home world. He saw to it that Etah was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and expunged any reference to having been a Jedi from Etah’s service record. He was instead listed as a human that had worked as a Jedi Temple security guard from Coruscant that had been hired by the Kaminoans as a Master Chief to train Clones before being commissioned directly into the Grand Army of the Republic.

During the [[Starwars:Battle of Sullust|Battle of Sullust]] as the much more important fight was happening in the skies above the planet, Etah and his Black Sheep Regiment who continued to be happy under his leadership, decimated a droid army on the planet below. The victory ensured that the planet would remain free from Confederate influence and that the Republic forces in the area wouldn’t be surprised. Most importantly, Sullust happened to be near Eradu. Admiral Tarkins own world of Eradu was facing a separatist crisis. A political rival of Tarkins on Eradu had allied himself with the Confederacy and called on Count Dooku for reinforcements to free their world from Republic oppression.

Etah and the Black Sheep Regiment which by now was nearly two regiments strong and could be more properly termed a Legion, landed just behind the Droid Army. Breaking into three elements, one battalion on each side of the Droid Army maneuvered themselves toward the main body of the droid army, then away and then around. The droid Army broke ranks to chase the side elements, themselves separating into three elements and were eventually positioned with their backs to each other. The main body of the small Legion then pushed hard, destroying every droid in front them all the way to the other body of Clones. The traitor was arrested before the day was through.

===19 BBY (19 YO)===
At the behest of Admiral Tarkin, the Black Sheep Regiment spearheaded an attack on the Confederacy stronghold of [[star wars:Sluis Van|Sluis Van]]. The planet was well defended as their shipyards were incredibly important to the Confederacies cause. So the strike was very rapid. The Black Sheep dropped in, killed everyone they could see, blew the shipyards and disappeared. They didn’t intend to pacify the planet but in destroying the shipyards, the Black Sheep regiment did ensure the Galactic Empire would take control of the planet at the end of the conflict.

[[star wars:Yag’Dhul|Yag’Dhul]] was a very important trade world, intersecting the Rimma Trade Route and the Corellian Trade spine, making the world a key component to the economy of the Confederacy of Independent systems. The Givens abilities with mathematics also made them an important asset to the Confederacy. Like Sluis Van, the Black Sheep Regiment didn’t outright pacify the planet but they did destroy the Confederate shipyards.

Waiting until the First Fleet of the Confederacy was out of system, the Black Sheep regiment slipped onto the world in the dead of the night. The Black Sheep Troopers remained very mobile and fluid and harassed and terrorized the Givin. Their primary goal was to prove to the mathematicians of the planet that the Confederacy could not protect them or ensure them a high quality of life. Their secondary goal was to make the world unsafe for trade. After a month of using gorilla hit and run tactics that were sporadic enough that no Givin mathematician could write an accurate predictive algorithm.

The Black Sheep Regiment left Yag’Dhul as suddenly as they came and headed to Utapau on the Orders of the Supreme Chancellor himself. The Regiment descended upon a planet already in chaos, already in battle. General Obi-wan and the 501st Legion was engaging the Separatist Council, including head of state Grievous. The Black Sheep instead of being part of that mess kept the droid armies busy who tried to flank the 501st, turning droid army after droid army into scrap metal. Pitched fighting was Etah’s least favorite situation to be in but for this battle that is where the Black Sheep needed to be.

Etah was not there when the 501st fired on Obi-Wan toward the end of the [[star wars:Battle of Utapau|Battle of Utapau]], but he visibly flinched when he was informed later on. But none of his clones who remembered him as a Jedi Commander dared say anything. Etah assumes to this day that he was spared from the much discussed Order 66 based on the alteration of his service record. He also found himself in the strange position of being on the world of his ancestors at a time he was unwilling to divulge his non-human ancestry as the Clone Wars ended and the Republic gave way to the Galactic Empire.

==Imperial Service==
{{Quote|aquote|, by who circa when}}

===18 BBY (20 YO)===
Etah and the Black Sheep Regiment stayed on Utapau for several months, as the Clone Wars gave way to the Declaration of a New Order. The young Lieutenant Colonel explored the planet and the culture, receiving some knowing looks from Pau’ans who literally viewed him as an infant. They didn’t stay on the Utapau for too long however, the newly titled Moff Tarkin needed Etah and his Black Sheep regiment on Antar 4, the former capital of the Confederacy of Independent systems.

The Black Sheep were different than most Clone Regiments; they had the advantages of lab bred genetic superiority, but also due to Etah’s leadership style, they were able to adapt to situations in ways that other clones were not. This made them perfect to hunt down and eliminate former Confederates in what would eventually come to be called the [[star wars:Antar Atrocity|Antar Atrocity]].

As the Galactic Empire cemented its grip on the galaxy, it wanted to punish rebellious worlds, formerly loyal members of the Republic who had sided with the Confederacy. Antar 4 was a perfect world for this kind of retribution. Over the period of a year, the Black Sheep at the behest of Moff Tarkin and in concert with other Imperial elements arrested and executed large swaths of former Confederates. At the end of what the media had dubbed an atrocity, Etah followed the now Grand Moff Tarkin into the outer rim.

===17 BBY (21 YO)===
Bereft of the financial support of the Techno Union and the Trade Federation and beset by the nascent Galactic Empire, many backwater planets in the Western Reaches that had formerly supported the Confederacy banded together becoming collectively known as Separatist holdouts. Some of them would not give up the idea of a Confederacy of Independent systems, while others were dissatisfied with the Imperial Reconstruction; a few were even unaware that the Clone Wars had ended. After the Antar 4 debacle, Moff Tarkin was sent to the Western Reaches in order to quell this miniature rebellion. With the Jedi Order as a distant memory and Imperial service as his present and future, Lieutenant Colonel Etah and the Black Sheep Regiment followed closely on the Moff’s heels.

The droid armies were deactivated but some of the organics that supported the Confederacy weren’t willing to give up and those are who Etah and his Clones engaged. From planet to planet, world to world; the Black Sheep regiment, acting on intelligence provided by Naval Intelligence Agency attacked and destroyed secret Confederate bases and listening posts. Continuing the activities that had started on Antar 4, suspected former Confederates across the Western Reaches were arrested and executed, sometimes en mass. The fear of destruction caused many Confederate holdouts to give up and scatter; this was the beginning of Moff Tarkins doctrine of ruling by fear.

After Moff Tarkin was reassigned to Sentinel Base later in the year, the Black Sheep answered to Vice Admiral Dodd Rancit of the Naval Intelligence Agency. As Tarkin faded from Etah’s life the Clone Wars finally ended for Etah, but not war itself or the service it required. The Clone Wars might have ended, but the Galactic Civil War picked up right where the Clone Wars left off. The fighting would not end, the death would not end; he would come to embody chaos as perpetual conflict became part of him.

The childhood Etah spent within the Jedi Order was strange to him now. He almost felt like he was recalling someone elses past, that he was a soldier with a padawans memories. He was so mentally and emotionally removed from the Jedi Order than he couldn't imagine a future in which he stayed with the Jedi Order, a line of thought made more poinent by the Jedi bones littering battlefields across the galaxy.

===14 BBY (24 YO)===
Promoted to the rank of Colonel, Etah with the remainder of his Black Sheep Regiment was transferred to oppose the [[Ryloth Insurgency]] under the oversight of the local Imperial Moff. He was there to replace a traitorious Imperial Colonel that had been assisting Free Ryloth. This was not an illustrious post, it was a dead end assignment; the answer of what to do with a wartime relic that knew more about tactics than he did politics.

The next nine years would not be particularly memorable, it was just a grind. The fighting was fierce but sparce, the Imperials posessed a numerical and technological advantage but the fighting spirit and rightious fury of the Twi'lek rebels in addition to their intimate knowledge of the area made the theater particularly difficult to manage. For every Imperial that died, ten Twi'leks died; but in the end it was the Imperials that felt defeated.

One by one the Clones of his Regent fell, at first replaced by the last of the Clones from elsewhere and then by human recruits. By the time he left Ryloth; the Regiment he commanded would look nothing like the Black Sheep. Bearing that name, Etah thought but did not say, was an insult to the real men of the Black Sheep regiment, the Clones who fought greater battles than these pretenders could ever even dream of.

Nine years after arriving and entering the fight, Free Ryloth showed no signs of stopping. No amount of war, no amount of death, no number of atrocoties would end this war. Nothing would dampen the fighting spirit of the Twi'lek. This experiance left a bad taste in Etah's mouth and he became less motivated in his Imperial Service and more bitter. He felt no saddness or shame when he was transfered to Corescant.

===4 BBY (34 YO)===
Etah was transfered to Coruscant to serve as the Commandant of the [[Royal Imperial Academy]] and part of him was happy. Though as a colonel the move wasn’t actually a promotion, this was a fairly prestigious posting, especially in comparison to his prior posting to Ryloth. Which meant his career was finally going somewhere. But it was also melancholy; he knew his field assignments were behind him, that he would likely never see combat again as an officer of men.

The former Master Chief knew it was a little strange, for a long serving Storm Trooper Officer to be put in charge of a school that largely produced candidates for the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Security Bureau. What they told him is that the Empire wanted a combat veteran with unshakable loyalty to command the post, but he could read the writing on the wall and he understood that he was being put out to pasture.

The Commandants job largely consisted of paperwork, but he also taught a few classes including history, philosophy and basic tactics and he relished those classes. He he took what joy from his job that he could. He walked the halls with pride, knowing that he was special, that he made a difference in the hearts and minds of the next generation of Imperial Officers. In some of his personal correspondents he remarked that that this posting would make his memory live on with the Imperials that walked those halls.

==Imperial Werewolves==
{{Quote|aquote|, by who circa when}}

===4 ABY (42 YO)===
About eight years after Etah transfered to the Royal Imperial Academy, the Emperor was killed. On Coruscant there was cheering in the streets at the death of the Emperor until Riot Control Storm Troopers mounted a crack down, dispursing the assembly. But after the Storm Troopers supressed the celebration, the people of Coruscant began organized protests and fought back in large numbers driving the Storm Troopers into hiding. The Commandant took control of the shattered remnants of Storm Trooper Legions through sheer force of personality and organized them into guerilla cells, dubbing them the Imperial Werewolves.

The way the Werewolves commonly operated is that numberious small teams would arrive at mass demonstrations and coordinate attacks to inflict massive casualties before disappearing. If there were no demonstrations, they would find the most densly packed open air civilian areas and wound as many people possible. They focused on wounding in order to create grusome sights and sounds and to overwealm local medical resources. They would also often use these massive public attacks as a screen for smaller infantry strikes at more stratigic locations. Their goal was not just to score the big public attack to scare the common man but also to hamper their enemies ability to orginize and suppy themselves.

For the first year the Imperial Werewolves operated they still had the support of the government of Coruscant. So they operated from government instilations with the support of government warehouses. But after the Galactic Concordance and the formal surrender of the Empire, they operated out of safe houses, struck from the lower levels and kept stock of their own supplies which were largely liberated from the nascent New Republic.

==Prison and Escape==
{{Quote|aquote|, by who circa when}}

===9 ABY (47 YO)===
For five years the Imperial Werewolves were public enemy number one and greatly hampered the New Republics activies on Coruscant. Some sources suggest this is why locations other than Coruscant were chosen for the New Republic capital. The Werewolves were always too quick and too well organized for the New Republic to get the drop on them, but after several years of successful operations, the New Republic finally penetrated their organization. They got a former Storm Trooper who was a New Republic intelligence agent to successfully join the Werewolves.

The revolution ended fairly rapidly after that. Arrest followed by arrest followed by arrest and before long Etah found himself in the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center, a high-security prison located on the planet Coruscant. The next nine years would weigh heavy on the man that Etah would become. Though he had been a soldier, though he had been a True Believer in the New Order, he hadn't been a terrorist until he was. Prison gave him much time for reflection.

Etah hadn't even attempted to use the force in years, decades actually. It did manifest itself in subtle, unconscious ways over the years that made him seem like an above average soldier such as precognition and amplification making him unnaturally fast. But he never used the more vulgar force powers such as telekenisis. But during his imprisonment, he had nothing but time and the dark confines of his cell often found him in meditation.

Nine years slowly churned by. He started using sticks to practice lightsaber forms in the dark aloneness of his cell, in addition to practicing his force powers. He had nothing better, nothing more enlightening, and nothing more entertaining to do with his time. Turning to long forgotten traditions in his time of need, something awoke within him that he had not felt since he was a young man among the Jedi. He wouldn't know til many years later, but he raised a few eyebrows and gained attention that he was unprepared for.

===18 ABY (56 YO)===
One day, nine years into his life sentance a prison riot broke out. On that day he would come face to face with Selene d’Tana, a human female who would weigh heavy on his immediate future. She represented a powerful underworld collective known as the d'Tana Consortium. She was also a Dark Jedi, the d'Tana's had caught wind of his abilities and that he was possibly a lost Jedi who went on to serve the Empire and they decided to bust him out.

Using her contacts Selene got him off of the prison grounds. They traveled to the lower levels where Etah led them to an old Werewolf safe house and they laid low for a few days’ time until agents of the Consortium were able get to them and spirited the two away. Etah, Selene and the handful of people on the small Corellian freighter all headed for a place he had never heard of before but would play a big role in his future; Dajorra.

The former Commandant still didn't understand what he was in for. Etah's years in prison had fundimentally changed him or at least how he thought of himself. He didn't think of himself as a prisoner or ex-convict. But niether did he think of himself simply as a soldier or as a military officer. The force was alive within him, but he was certain that he wasn't a Jedi. But little did he know that he was heading to exactly the right place to answer his questions.

=Character History=

==The Clan of Shadows==
{{quote|The shadows have always been my path|, Etah to Selene circa 19 ABY}}

===19 ABY (57 YO)===
On arrival to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood Commandant Etah, became Apprentice Etah, an entry level member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He was originally assigned to the House Oriens Obscurum and was slated to be mentored by Dark Jedi Knight Callus Bo'Amar. But very soon after joining the Clan Arcona and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the former terrorist was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then-Sergeant Selene d’Tana, who he had met at the prison. This would establish a mentorship from then until her first departure from Arcona. His infantry background and his knowledge of asymmetric warfare bolstered the strength of the elite Battle Team.

[[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, Proconsul of the Clan Arcona at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing officially as his Apprentice. Most of their training sessions involved heavy drinking but the former Storm Trooper still advanced very quickly under the Ewoks tutelage, advancing from [[Apprentice]] to [[Guardian]] in just a month. Etah remembers this time fondly.

After a serving as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force for a time, the young Guardian Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]] where he led for roughly a year and a half. Etah remembers this task as being very frustrating because many of his phyle members were higher ranking than him within the Brotherhood and would not take direction.

===20 ABY (58 YO)===
Deputy Grand Master [[Aristan Dantes]], summoned Proconsul Koskian d’Tana of the Clan Arcona and Proconsul [[Phoenix]] of the [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] separately, to meet with him on [[Antei]]. The two Proconsuls got involved in a scuffle. A short spat between both Clans ensued that included Phoenix abducting Etah and beating him, though not severely. Arcona crushed Scholae Palatinae and Phoenix immediately halted hostilities. Unbeknownst to most, the entire conflict was driven by a friendly bet between the two Proconsuls, and roughing up Koskian's apprentice was just for fun. Phoenix would later join the [[d’Tana]] family and ascend to its highest ranks.

After returning from an undercover mission to Eldar, the d'Tana family indicated that he along with a Nagai named [[Rho]] had been accepted into the family. Both men were already affiliated with the Consortium but joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men; Mafiosos whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family while being under the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]], both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. Selene -- the pretty young woman that convinced the family to spring him from prison -- died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah, knowing no other home but Arcona, choose to remain among the shadow Clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

After being inducted into the family Etah was put in charge of the legitimate Tana Consortium front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, and originally used as a legal front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's, Etah was in charge of the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

When a majority of the Clan Arcona and indeed the entire brotherhood was called to the Antei system by the Grand Master at the time, Etah stayed behind in the Dajorra system. The Arconan Fleet and most of its Dark Jedi left to join all the other Clans in a joint military exercise called Operation: Second Darkness. Etah stayed behind to both study the Dark Side of the Force and to deal with his growing mental instability.

===21 ABY (59 YO)===
As his final trial to become a Dark Jedi Knight, Etah’s Master Psyko, sent him to the planet Kiffex to retrieve the holocron of Dark Acolyte Sogr Kjah, who was a master of Soresu and served a mighty Sith Warlord in a great historical war. Etah traveled to this far away world, made into the Temple and found his way to the holocron but as he retrieved the holocron, the temple, including the floor underneath his feet began to crumble.

Etah escaped the tomb with the holocron, but was accosted by a pack of wild mindless Anzati. Kiffar villagers retrieved him and nursed him back to health. As he became stronger he interacted with the holocron of Sogr Kjah which among other things reminded him of the process he learned so long ago as a Jedi Padawan, to create a lightsaber and taught him the rudiments of the Soresu style of lightsaber fighting.

The adventure concluded with him destroying a beast called the Demurgima that had been ravaging the villagers who had saved him and retrieving its heart which could be used as a lightsaber focusing crystal. Using the Demurgima heart to finish his lightsaber, he battled hordes of wild Anzati and the ancient Sith spirit that was imprisoned on the world and who was controlling the Anzati.

Upon his return the new Dark Jedi Knight took up his first role within the Shadow Academy, Etah became the Ecclesiastic Pedagogue of a subject entitled General Leadership. For the next several years he would visit the Shadow Academy facility on Lyspair to tutor young, prospective Battle Team Leaders on basic leadership subjects and the Dark Brotherhoods chain of command and reporting system. As a former Master Chief and Commandant, he assumed this role easily and enjoyed it immensely.

Following the Clan Arconas return to Dajorra Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active, though uninspired leadership helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition during early 21 ABY. The former Jedi gave no objections about the choice of [[Sashar Arconae|Sashar]] as [[Quaestor]] to [[Consul]] [[Timeros], but Sashar, it seemed, had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The old trooper had no time to grouse however, as the Extra Galactic aliens chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconans that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short period.

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Alien Invasion]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent [[Shadesworn]] cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time. The cult of shadows suited his personality as a Storm Trooper and foreshadowed his later embracing of the ideals of the Clan of Death.

Following the Alien Invasion, [[Mejas Doto]] re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah believed in the competition that he had rightfully earned the Quaestorship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism; [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Quaestor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediately followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events caused a rift between Etah and much of Arcona that would never be fully reconciled, but would wane just a bit.

==The Shadesworn==
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|, - Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 24 ABY}}

===22 ABY (60 YO)===
22 ABY was a very slow year for Etah and most in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Arconan Fleet hovered in space without purpose, avoiding the marauding Extra Galactic Aliens; going nowhere in particular but taking great pains not to be found. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Sashar was using his influence over Mejas Doto to systematically drive out those not specifically loyal to him, cementing his eventual rise to power. Most went silently into the night, but Etah fought hopelessly against the rising tide.

===23 ABY (61 YO)===
Clan Plagueis’s Jusadih system didn’t need to be evacuated two years earlier, when most of the Dark Brotherhood systems were forced to. But in 23 ABY the extra galactic aliens began moving toward the system. Plagueis asked for assistance from Clan Scholae Palatinae, sworn enemy (at the time) of Clan Arcona. So when Scholae Palatinae rushed to the aid of Clan Plagueis, Arcona attempted to ambush the home system of Scholae Palatinae which also hadn’t been evacuated.

The civil war was interrupted by the aliens who arrived in the system and the three Clans worked together to defeat them. Following their victorious battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, the fleet of the Dark Council arrived. There was a black ops mission by the Soulfire Brigade in order to put Scholae Palatinae in an awkward position, but that operation was ultimately unsuccessful. Etah was the Commander of Aerospace Group (CAG) of the elite Blue Mist Squadron during this conflict and was a factor in the combined Joint Task Forces success against the aliens.

===24 ABY (62 YO)===
Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also useful. The ongoing, public conflict between the two put the Obelisk Templar on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially-unofficially led by Timeros Entar. As an outsider the old soldier was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man could have been a friend and ally in other circumstances.

With the Clan of Shadows approaching its greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Quaestors of both houses, both of whom were thought to be his cronies, though ironically both of them went on to join the Dark Council. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the sudden shift of power forced the Entar into the Quaestorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was officially back in good standing with his Clan and a great threat from within was eliminated.

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt its fleet. It decided that 24 ABY was the proper time to return to Antei and to take it back from the Extra Galactic Invaders by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan Vong they were planning to face had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In their place however, was a crackpot Jedi Master named Omancor Crask, leading a band of anachronistic Jedi that had somehow obtained an army of automatons. The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and their metal golems.

Grand Master Aristan Dantes killed Omancor Crask in one-on-one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en masse. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reoccupying the system. Upon returning to Dajorra, it was found that the Garconan spice veins were tapped out. With Dajorran planets devoid of spice and the destruction of Coronada Station the d’Tana family made the decision that the future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

===25 ABY (63 YO)===
A short time after the war, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprenticeship to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentor's footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory in 25 ABY, Etah was elevated to Krath Archpriest and received a token of the Clans faith in him, in the form of a Seal of Loyalty. Not long after the Great Jedi War, Etah succeeded Timeros as Quaestor of House Galeres; and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order for reasons not publically stated.

Etah's tenure as Quaestor of the House Galeres started strong, as he worked with the Pronconsul to institute Project Reb00t, which was a dramatic restructuring of the Clan that didn’t ultimately perform well and as the Shadesworn organization made their existence known to the whole Clan. But during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, [[Zakath]], and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===26 ABY (64 YO)===
Though they are not years that stand out well to him amongst his memories 26 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]], leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its nightmarish insect-like inhabitants that possessed freakish abilities which lay outside of the force. He recalls being wet and cold, he recalls being in combat but he doesn't remember any specifics. This mission was dangerious and miserable but provided no signifigant logistical or stratigic challenges, so Etah fell back into muscle memory.

After stepping down from Quaestor, he was hired as Rollmaster of the House Galeres which in the Clan Arcona was being termed Magistrate to the Consul at the time. His project was to gather and coallate massive amounts of data about the Clan Arcona and produce a comprehensive report called the Prospectus. It was a boring time but he counts this as one of his greatest achievements, even though Arcona never really recognized him for the amount of work he put into the project. Several elements of his report are still utilized by the Clan Arcona.

===27 ABY (65 YO)===
Etah resigned from his position as Magistrate to the Consul just in time for hostilities on Antei to boil over in what is now termed Operation: Disorder Etah joined the rest of the Obelisk Order in attacking and destroying the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army. The assembled Obelisk then occupied the hallowed halls of the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] which they then defended from [[Sith]] Incursion in one of the few instances of Dark Jedi attacking Dark Jedi directly and openly. It was no surprise the militant Obelisk was victorious over the power hungry Sith and the studious Krath.

The more exposure to the Dark Side of the Force Etah recieved, the more he was twisted by it or as he would likely think; the more he twisted it to him. His habits became more peculiar as time went on. He began talking to himself and had developed a facial twitch. Sometimes people would go missing and the evidence would point to Etah as the last person who likely spoke with them or saw them alive. A few of these were lower ranking Dark Jedi but most were mundane members of the Dajorra Expeditionary Fleet. There were always questions, but never enough evidence to prove that he was murdering random people.

===28 ABY (66 YO)===
Not long after Operation: Disorder Etah stepped up as Battle Team Leader of Black Hammer. Black Hammer was an elite combined arms unit, consisting of air, armor and infantry elements which attacked their targets swiftly. The old Imperial Colonel whipped the Battle Team into shape, both on paper and in function. Using time tested military tactics, used extensivly in the Clone Wars the Black Hammer Brigade became the shock troops of the Clan Arcona. He then promptly handed the team off.

While he was Commander of the Black Hammer Brigade, Etah was chosen by Justicar Kir Taldrya Katarn to serve as his Left Hand of Justice. Not long after stepping down from the field Command, Etah assumed the office of Left Hand of Justice. This would be a post he held for nearly two years, much longer than anyone had in the past. But there were no high profile cases during this time period. Instead, the first year mostly consisted of menial paperwork, but he spent the second year also serving with the Clan Arcona.

===29 ABY (67 YO)===
A call to invade New Tython came from the Dark Council and Arcona eagerly responded, frothing at the mouth at the chance to extinguish the light Jedi blight from within the Brotherhood. Etah was involved in pre-planning the operation as he was many of the military operations within Clan Arcona.

Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reinforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit but Sashar Erinos died during this operation and Etah still feels conflicted about that.

Over the last several years Etah had watched the Erinos family, under Sashar’s careful control, come to dominate the Clan Arcona and became hostile to anyone that might jeopardize their grip on the Clan. This had been pattern had been interrupted by the placement of the new Consul, [[Wuntila Entar]] and the rise of Galeres Quaestor [[Sanguinus Entar]], setting both of these families on a collision course, with the remnant of Etah’s d’Tana Family trapped squarely in the middle.

In response to a possible Arconan civil war brought on by the arrogance of the Erinos Family, Etah went off the reservation and formulated a plan to assassinate Teroch Erinos, nephew of the fallen Sashar Erinos. His family members and the family’s allies and associates decided to follow him in the execution of that plan. But despite his determination, Etah was unsuccessful at his task and Consul Wuntila sent Etah’s mentor Timeros Entar to rein him in.

===30 ABY (68 YO)===
Following his assassination attempt on Teroch, Etah earned a vaunted and covited Dark Sage Law degree, and chose to travel to the Shadow Academy to receive the degree in person. While he was there, before the ceremony had a chance to commence, scores of journeyman Dark Jedi were reported to have lost their ability to control the force. Before the mystery of why could be solved, those same journeyman began to transform into mindless zombies. A small band of Equite Dark Jedi came together to try to escape the station and to try to contain the spread of the Horizons Zombie Virus.

During the adventure Etah allied with [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia]], who had succeeded him as Left Hand of Justice, to oppose [[Headmaster]] [[Ronovi Tavisaen]] and her [[Praetor]] [[Solus Gar]] as they attempted to destroy the Shadow Academy to keep the Horizons plague from spreading -- ignoring the obvious fact that virus had already spread beyond the walls of the Academy. Before the Academy was destroyed, the Dark Council had found a cure for the Horizons virus. Etah shook hands with Alaris and left the Shadow Academy at the earliest opportunity, skipping the ceremony he had arrived to attend.

Upon his return to Dajorra the Quaestor of House Galeres, Sanguinus Entar, who had a great amount of faith in Etah, placed him in command of the House’s premier unit, [[Specter Cell]]. The old war horse wasn't use to a tactical level of combat but he picked up his old skills and habits pretty quickly. With knowledge and experiances learned in the Clone Wars and honed on Ryloth, Etah would lead the team well through several engagements.

Not long after his zombie misadventure, Etah lead Spectre Cell in an assault on a Super-class Star Destroyer Avenger II, at the very beginning of what would come to be called the Dark Crusade. Etah at the helm of Spectre Cell traveled to the Jusadih System and led his team in clearing the Bridge of a House Plagueis Capital ship of the mercenaries that the late Darth Zoraan had led into Brotherhood space. After securing the Plagueis ship the Obelisk Prelate led his team down to the surface of the planet Kapsina for more action.

The Dark Crusade began as dealing with the political fallout from the actions of now-dead Grand Master Zoraan, then continued as a Holy Crusade for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood to take and occupy the historically Sith planets in the Galaxy. The next year and a half was an exhausting seemingly never ending series of skirmishes with a mysterious rival Sith Faction all over ancient planets.

After several months of intensive combat operations in which Spectre Cell served on the front line of every Arconan mission, Etah had a massive falling out with Aedile Cethgus, someone whom he had never really respected to begin with. Following this spat, Etah stepped out of the Command of Spectre Cell and transferred to House Qel-Droma within the Clan Arcona and took up leadership of the Battle Team Shadow Gate.

===31 ABY (69 YO)===
Several years back the Clan Arcona had found an active pirate Space Port located just outside of the Dajorran system. They spent the next several years silently gaining control of the station, slowly turning it into a carefully constructed front. But, after all of that hard work on the part of House Qel-Droma, Arconan forces and safe houses across the station were suddenly overrun. It seemed that someone, at the very least, knew that an outside entity had taken control of the station.

Though Port Ol’val is a Qel-Droman asset, the Consul, Wuntila Entar, deemed the action a threat to the entire Clan. So Etah was assigned to a three-man team along with Legorii Kryotek Entar and Celevon Edraven and given an assignment. Though Celevon was largely absent, Etah and Legorii managed to get a lot of tasks accomplished. Underneath it all, this was a test of the members of Arcona, a Trial of Loyalty, so that Consul Wuntila Entar Arconae and Proconsul Marick Arconae knew who they could trust.

Battle Team Shadow Gate had been an arceological team but was morphed by the Dark Crusade into something resembling a Special Forces unit. But it seemed illsuited to the task and Etah's style never meshed with the group, so after leading the Battle Team Shadow Gate through a few skirmishes of the Dark Crusade, he resigned from command. As combat against the One Sith began winding down, Etah changed his Order to the Sith Order and was in short time promoted to Sith Battlelord for his long time service and his growing power.

==The Masters of Life and Death==
{{Quote|The shadows shepherded me towards death, because death exists within the darkest of shadows|, Etah to Hades, circa 32 ABY}}

===32 ABY (70 YO)===
Over the years Etah's outspokeness and lack of desire to conform had forced him to the fringes of the Clan Arcona. The Clans core leadership utilized him as a junior leader when they needed to and awarded him as little as they could get away with. Timeros was the only core leader in Arcona that supported him at all and he was the only reason Etah was recognized as a Battlelord. The former Storm Trooper was plagued by rumors of bone chilling screams emanating from dark cellars, and dark rooms with rows of skulls, with which he apparently sought counsel. Things of this nature were too inhuman for the squeamish grey Jedi of Arcona and made them very uncomfortable.

Etah eventually realized that he had traveled as far on his path with Arcona as he could go, and so the former Imperial began to look at his options. Tarentum, Arcona's greatest ally was the first place the Battlemaster considered as he sought to move beyond the shadows and onto the darker shades of death. Hades was the member of Tarentum most willing to meet with him and discuss his options. Hades convinced Etah to transfer, proving that he was needed and would be valued among the Masters of Life and Death. Not long after his arrival in the Yridian system, Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre recognized his potential and secured Etah's loyalty.

Etah's original mentor had been Psyko, as he progressed in power Timeros became his mentor. As Etah transitioned from the Clan of Shadows into the Masters of Life and Death, Bloodfyre became his mentor. Each new chapter in his journey became a new conduit for learning. As he progressed in power, learning the bulk of what he could learn from his current mentor, a new mentor was required. He knew that Bloodfyre was the master that would lead him into the ranks of the Dark Jedi elders.

The appropriately termed Operation: Fading Light involved mopping up the One Sith and bringing the Dark Crusade to a close. Etah not yet a leader among Tarentum performed admirably in ground battles jumping from Bosthirda, to Begeren, and finally to Nicht Ka in quick sucsession. The old Storm Trooper was able to prove his prowess in combat, performing particularly well on Nicht Ka. With the dust of Fading Light securing the path to Korriban, the last prize of the Dark Crusade, was within reach.

The very next year Tarentum began gearing up to join the rest of the Brotherhood in a massive assault on Korriban. But as he final layers of the onion were torn off, they revealed a rotten core. The underlying cause of the Dark Crusade was revealed to be the master stroke of many powerful Elders of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Tarentum supported the Clan Arcona in answering the call of the Dark Council and protecting Grand Master Muz.

The former House, now Clan Tarentum, wearily emerged from the conflict. They had done their part in ensuring the continuence of the Dark Council and the Brotherhood as it had been currently understood. Focusing inward Etah transferring within Tarentum to the new Battle Team Mortis, and began laying the foundation for a powerful House of Dark Jedi. It was this time that he began taking up the banner of the Grand Chamberlain in the face of other sects developing within the Clan.

===33 ABY (71 YO)===
As the Battleteam Mortis became the House Mortis, Etah was appointed to the position of Aedile of the new house. Unfortunatly it was not so the Clan summit could watch him spread his wings and ascend to godhood. It was so that the Quaestorship could be delivered to someone without the experiance to hold the position. He wasn't leading so much as he was baby sitting. This did not sit well with the Sith Battlelord and he eventually resigned as a new summit was appointed.

==The Deathsworn==
{{Quote|aquote|, by who circa when}}

===34 ABY (72 YO) ===
The very next year Bloodfyre charged the Sith Battlelord with creating a cult dedicated to death, which would serve Bloodfyres interests. Taking the Shadesworn precepts he learned as a cultist of the Shadows in the Clan Arcona and translating them into a Cult of Death befitting the Clan of death, the Deathsworn were created. He served as the first Vicar or leader of the cult for a time before he was assigned elsewhere, remaining as a member of the Deathsworn cult but working on projects the summit assigned him.

During his time as Battle Team Leader Etah was confronted by a young female Selphi named Adrestia who sought to become his student in the force, and her wife, a Duro named Themis. Adrestia had been a member of Omancor Crask’s Jedi Order and her wife served as a pilot in his fleet, mainly to stay close to Adrestia. Following Master Crasks death they were both stranded in Dark Jedi space, on the run and in fear of their lives ever since. In response Etah lobbied the Summit to allow the membership of Gray Jedi, becoming a member of the Dark Brotherhood would shield Adrestia and her husband from random violence on the part of Dark Jedi

===35 ABY (73 YO)===
As he began focusing more and more time and energy on protecting the grays within Tarentum; the Battle Team Leader of the Deathsworn, commanded his loyalty and obediance and Etah declined stating that his loyalty was only to Bloodfyre and Tarentum and the latter only so long as it remained consistant with the former. The battle team leader objected and words were said. He left the battle team which he believed had become a watered down, almost useless version of the vision of greatness he had envisioned for the team.

During this time Etah’s Apprentice, Adrestia, became the Aedile of the Clan Tarentum’s House Liath in the lead up to a Great War that would rock the Great Jedi Brotherhood and serve as a test for the newest incarnation of the Clan Tatentum. Some of the gray Jedi she led did not appreciate Etah’s presence or influence but others pointed out his importance in their protection and still others pointed out that their own patron, Omancor Crask had been a Jedi Master and Grand Master equally.

=Appearance=
Etah’s hybrid Pau’an heritage is hidden within very human ascetics. He stands at six foot, two inches tall. His dark brown hair gets bushy as it grows long and his beard grows curly and wild looking; but often times he wears his hair short and his face is clear shaven. The Equites years of military service show in his posture which tends to be rigid, standing straight with his shoulders back. His shoulders are a bit wider than most, but his build is not muscle bound; solid is a word that would probably come to mind instead. The most visible piece of clothing former Imperial wears is a black and well-worn Armorweave Cloak, under which you might be able to see Crushgaunts and black armor of some kind. When in the field, he wears a white helmet shaped in the visage of a skull. The clothes and gear themselves are as practical as the visual effect is thematic and terrifying.

==Physical Appearance==
[[File:Etah_Portrait.jpg]]

=Psychological Profile=
Etah has a number of mental maladies that shape his personality and actions.

==Belonging==
As a young Jedi Etah never felt like he belonged to their order. He could never put his finger on why he was an outcast but he never felt accepted or comfortable among their number. This led to him developing a rabid need to be accepted. He chased that need into military service first in the Grand Army of the Republic and then in Imperial service and now he has chased that sense of belonging into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, first within Arcona and now within the ranks of Tatentum. This has allowed him to be manipulated into serving the ultimate goals of others in the past. Though he would never admit it his need to be accepted makes him the perfect goon,

==Dark Triad==
Etah is narcissistic, has Machiavellian tendencies, and exhibits traits of psychopathy. Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy. Machiavellianism is characterized by the habitual manipulation and exploitation of others, a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and deception. Psychopathy is characterized by continuing antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness and remorselessness. Psychologists have called these traits collectively the dark triad and when possessed within one person can make them quite dangerous. Etah is a superficially charming person, like many sociopaths are, but underneath it all he is a mess and in response to his emotional disarray he has become a monster.

==Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder==
Jumping from the Clone Wars into Imperial military service, ending his military service with acts of terrorism, spending several years in a violent prison and then engaging in several years of near constant combat operations in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Etah doesn’t have post-traumatic stress disorder just one time, he has gained PTSD several dozens of times. The result is an extreme version of PTSD primarily experienced by kidnapping victims, the victims of concentration or prisoner of war camps and victims of other kinds of long term physical and emotional abuse.

Complex PTSD causes Etah to have problems regulating his emotions which tends to result in persistent bouts of sadness that break into explosive fits of anger. Etah often shifts between an inability to remember his traumatic experiences and vividly reliving them through either daydreams or nightmares. Etah often feels shame and guilt for some of the experiences he has lived through. He is sometimes feels anxious, and paranoid. Complex PTSD feeds and sharpens Etah’s Dark Triad related symptoms, especially psychopathy.

==Disassociation==
Most people live in the moment, they live in their bodies. They see through their eyes, they live their life with intention. This is not always Etah’s experience. Sometimes Etah feels either as if he is the thing lurking within, looking through his face as if his face were a mask, partially removing himself from the situation. Other times he feels as if he is watching himself and the people around him from the above, totally removed for the situation. This is perhaps proves that there is still a moral center to him somewhere deep down and that he has to remove himself from his more heinous acts in order to assuage that unconscious morality.

==Otherness==
Most sentient beings in the galaxy feel somewhat connected, especially those of the one-head, two-arm, two-leg variety. There is at least an understanding that all sentient beings are similar or maybe it’s simply recognition of sentience itself. But Etah feels different. He has felt different all his life. Etah sees himself as totally removed from all other beings, a distinct form of life. It’s not something he can or does articulate, but it feeds all of his other negative traits. It feeds his grandiosity, the idea that he is different has become that he is more, which is simply over compensation for his feelings of weakness. It also feeds his callous disregard for others in the pursuit of his objectives.

If Etah were ever able to empathize with others, his behavior and personality would probably undergo a dramatic change. As it stands Sith Bloodfyre is the only being he has ever identified as being in any way like him, or rather he has identified that he is like Bloodfyre. Which has created within Etah, a hysteric sense of loyalty to Master Bloodfyre. A betrayal by Sith Bloodfyre would plunge Etah into an unfathomable mental state.

As Sith Bloodfyre in some ways views himself as an abstract representation of death, Etah is beginning to view himself as both the primordial embodiment of terror and as the abstract representation of terror, the harbinger of death. The more powerful he becomes, the more he slips into his delusions of grandeur; the less human he feels and the less connected to the world he is. He can’t be said to have broken out into fill schizophrenia yet, but there are worrying signs that his dark triad related symptoms combined with his strange feeling of otherness might spark breaks from reality within him.

=Possesions=
==Armorweave Cloak==
Etah's black and well worn armorweave cloak is one of his most faithful companions. It resembles a rain poncho but provides actual protection. When worn with his skull-like helmet, the Cloak creates the visual apperence of the Grim Reper.

==Clone Trooper Armor Phase II==
When in full battle rattle, Etah dons the specialized armor of the 214 Combined Arms Clone Trooper Regiment better known as the Black Sheep. In addition to containing a centralized HUD system, it is stripped down, ommiting unessisary pieces in order to maximize mobility. The armor from the neck down is black but the helmet is a stylized white skull.

==Droid:==
Etah’s BB unit astromech is black and silver, with what seems to be Imperial markings. Its nickname is BB Hate.

==Miscellaneous Equipment:==
Among other items that Etah carries is a voice modulator to mask the sound of his voice, an advanced scanner to feed into the HUD in his helmet, an elite shock collar to affect arrests when necessary, a holo projector for communication, a synthflesh dispenser in case of injury, and an aqua breather to allow him to breath underwater.

==Vehicles:==
===Starhawk Speeder Bike===
His speeder bike is all black and he uses it to disembark from his ship. This was a recent purchess but he has taken a liking to it.

===VT-49 Decimator===
This VT-49 can sustain a rate of fire greater than most vessels of its size. It can also take off faster than normal when it’s needed too. It’s hull is black all over.

==Weapons:==
===Knuckle-plate Vibroblade===
Etah doesn't wear a field knife like many soldiers are expected to. Instead he wears a knuckle-plate vibroblade. The blade itself is weighted to create a more dramatic impact, is obsidian in color and distributes a debilitating chemical to whoevers skin is pieced with the meaty blade. The vibroblade itself is well hidden within the right glove of Etah's Phase II Clone Trooper Armor.

===BlasTech LL-30 Blaster Pistol===
This blaster pistol has been at Etah's side since he was a young man busting clankers. It looks beat up but fires in quicker sucsession than other blasters of the same type due to cooling vents being fitted into the sides.

===BlasTech DC-15A Blaster Rifle===
Like his pistol this rifle has been slung on his back since he was teenager. It looks beat up and also fires at a faster rate due to being fitted with cooling vents. One of Etah's field secrets is his rifles padded assault sling that keeps him from expending unessisary energy.

===Lightsaber===
Etah made his first lightsaber as a Padawan, he constructed his second as a Dark Jedi Knight but as a Sith Battlelord he was bestowed an acient saber of great power and pedegree. Anyone familier with methods of construction will recognize the high level of artisanship that went into the construction of it. Etah thinks of it as a badge of nobility.

"Mors Vincit Omnia" - '''Death Conquers All'''

The Deathsworn are called such because they are sworn to serve until their Death, and view themselves as Death’s mortal embodiment. The Deathsworn revere death, almost as if it were a living entity, as such they do not fear dying, and mete out death to gain Death’s favor. Functionally they resemble a combined arms military unit, with a variety of skills in both space and land combat, what separates the Deathsworn from the more orthodox military units of [[Tarentum]] such as the Grey Wolves and the Order of the Trident other than a lack of uniforms is the cult-like fanaticism and religious fervor inherent in the philosophies devised by Master Bloodfyre.

The Deathsworn have various origins including the [[Shadesworn]] of [[Clan Arcona]] where Etah originally hailed and the [[Death Dealers]] of Clan Tarentum that had strong roots in the Clans past, from where both Etah and Bloodfyre liberally pulled inspiration. But first and foremost the Deathsworn it is the House of Bloodfyre. The Deathsworn are blindingly loyal to Master Sith Bloodfyre, Death’s chosen servant, who uses the cult as his base of power, pursuing an agenda he feels is beneficial to the Clan including protecting the Clan from forces from without, and sometimes, within Tarentum.

==History==

In the course of his travels Master Sith Bloodfyre came across the journal of Darth Mortis, a Dark Lord of the Sith from a period thousands of years before the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and following two great wars that saw his master, only referred to as the Lord of Hunger, slain. Darth Mortis wrote at length about feeding the Darkside by creating wounds that rippled through the force and thereby empowered nearby Darkside practitioners.

Instead of seeking to establish a temporal Empire like his master, Darth Mortis took only a single world as his own raising an increasingly powerful army and fleet. The fanatical forces of Darth Mortis reveled in hedonistic excess daily infrequently striding forth into the galaxy and wreaking havok in order to create wounds in the force. In his time, Darth Mortis became greater and more powerful than his former master had ever been.

Attempting to dabble in Darth Mortis’ teachings, Master Bloodfyre influenced Anshar Kahn to slaughter the former inmates of the penal colony of Yridia II during the Yridian Revolt.This turned Yridia II into a powerful wound in force, powerful enough to ripple throughout the entire Yridian system. It wasn’t just the slaughter, but the manner in which the terror was wrought, the former prisoners were slaughtered in small groups, bit by bit, driving fear into the hearts of the survivors, fear that their time was also nearly at an end.

Following this experience, Bloodfyre decided to create a group within the Clan Tarentum to further explore the writings of Darth Mortis. Years passed before Master Bloodfyre saw his opportunity to do so, until he found within the Shadesworn cult of the Clan Arcona a Kiffar of strength and vision who had previously served as an Imperial terrorist on Coruscant, following the death of the Emperor. Bloodfyre convinced the Equite to become his student and lieutenant.

Thus Etah d’Tana left Clan Arcona, his home for many years, and joined Tarentum. The former Imperial Stormtrooper fought for Tarentum in the last half of the Dark Crusades before becoming the first Aedile of House Mortis. Etah and Bloodfyre decided that a House was too public of a venue to create the Deathsworn cult and hid it within House Mortis.

Now the Deathsworn will write their own history in the blood of their victims.

==Organization==

===Patron===
Master Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae

Dark Jedi Master Sith Bloodfyre is the patron of the Deathsworn. The Grand Chamberlain of the Tarentae, a pillar of Tarentum and the Ghost Dragon of the esoteric Long family, the embodiment of Death itself. It was he who first answered the call of Darth Mortis and had the vision to bring the Deathsworn to life.

The patron is not generally in the field with the Deathsworn but directs their actions from elsewhere and has the final say on all operations and personnel decisions.

===Vicar===
Battlelord Etah d’Tana

Sith Battlelord Etah d’Tana was the first of Vicar of the Deathsworn. Master Bloodfyre sought Etah out from within the ranks of Arcona’s Shadesworn, handpicking Etah to help bring life to his vision.

The Vicar acts in lieu of the Patriarch commanding the Deathsworn in the field and acting as the overall leader of the group in his absence.

===Harbinger===
Battlelord Zekk

Sith Battlelord Zekk, second Aedile of House Mortis was the first Harbinger.

Higher ranking Sworn or Cultists may be appointed Harbingers. They answer to the Vicar in the field but operate independently, filling reconnaissance and special operations roles.

===The Sworn===
The line soldiers of the Deathsworn. Each of them posses shipboard skills such as piloting, astronavigation and mechanics as well as infantry skills such as blasters or explosives.

===Cultist===
Non-force users can serve the Deathsworn, though they don’t reap the benefits through the force, many of them are even more fanatical. They serve in a similar role as the Sworn.

==Precepts of the Deathsworn==

Master Bloodfyre and Battlelord Etah devised precepts for the Deathsworn based upon the writings of Darth Mortis and their collective experience.

* There is a veil of secrecy that must be respected, so that the Deathsworns good work isn't impacted by authorities.

* The Deathsworn kill large groups of innocent people and always leave survivors to mourn the fallen in order to mass feelings of intense fear, anger, hate and suffering, which together create wounds that ripple and reverberate through the Force, empowering the Darkside.

* We should always attack the same city or planet more than once, but not too often or in any decipherable pattern. Certainty detracts from fear.

* The Deathsworn are terrorists and assassins, not soldiers or warriors. Our primary targets are the innocent and the harmless; they are mourned most bitterly.

* Whenever possible the Deathsworn should conceal their identities, masquerading as the enemies of their targets with the intention of causing reprisals from their victims against other innocent persons.

==Perceptions==

===From Within===

====Clan Tarentum====
Tarentum and more specifically Mortis is of course home to the Deathsworn. At the time of their founding, the Patron of the Deathsworn was also the Proconsul of the Clan, so the relationship is close. But the Deathsworn tends to view the decisions the rest of the Clan makes as wrongheaded and heretical.

====Clan Arcona====
Arcona is not only the perennial ally of the Clan Tarentum, but also the home of the Shadesworn. Etah, the first Vicar of the Deathsworn, who was also formally of the Shadesworn held a bittersweet view of his former home and like the Cult as a whole, viewed Arcona as an important resource.

====Dark Council====
The Deathsworn views the Dark Council as a necessary evil that they mostly ignore, interacting with the decisions of the Dark Council only through their own House Summit and Clan Summit.

====All Other Clans====
The other Clans are boring. They are too jaded to be useful as victims, but if they ever got in the way of the Deathsworn, they would likely be dispatched.

====All Lighties====
Jedi of the light side are the best targets. Their death reverberates through the force and their mourning also makes waves through the force. They are the choice target of the Deathsworn when it is safe and advisable to do so.

===From Without===

====Clan Tarentum====
Some within the Clan view the Deathsworn with suspicion, their rabid loyalty to Master Bloodfyre making them suspicious even to the Consul of the Clan Tarentum, Farrin.

====Clan Arcona====
The Shadesworn are aware of the Deathsworns creation, but not of its membership or nature, the rest of the Clan doesn’t seem to be aware.

====Dark Council====
The Deathsworn haven’t done anything to merit attention from the Dark Council….. yet.

====All Other Clans====
Not much is known about the secretive Deathsworn Cult by the greater Dark Brotherhood beyond rumors of a terrorist group existing within Tarentum.

====All Lighties====
The Jedi don’t know about the Deathsworn….. yet.

"Mors Vincit Omnia" - '''Death Conquers All'''

The Deathsworn are called such because they are sworn to serve until their Death, and view themselves as Death’s mortal embodiment. The Deathsworn revere death, almost as if it were a living entity, as such they do not fear dying, and mete out death to gain Death’s favor. Functionally they resemble a combined arms military unit, with a variety of skills in both space and land combat, what separates the Deathsworn from the more orthodox military units of [[Tarentum]] such as the Grey Wolves and the Order of the Trident other than a lack of uniforms is the cult-like fanaticism and religious fervor inherent in the philosophies devised by Master Bloodfyre.

The Deathsworn have various origins including the [[Shadesworn]] of [[Clan Arcona]] where Etah originally hailed and the [[Death Dealers]] of Clan Tarentum that had strong roots in the Clans past, from where both Etah and Bloodfyre liberally pulled inspiration. But first and foremost the Deathsworn it is the House of Bloodfyre. The Deathsworn are blindingly loyal to Master Sith Bloodfyre, Death’s chosen servant, who uses the cult as his base of power, pursuing an agenda he feels is beneficial to the Clan including protecting the Clan from forces from without, and sometimes, within Tarentum.

==History==

In the course of his travels Master Sith Bloodfyre came across the journal of Darth Mortis, a Dark Lord of the Sith from a period thousands of years before the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and following two great wars that saw his master, only referred to as the Lord of Hunger, slain. Darth Mortis wrote at length about feeding the Darkside by creating wounds that rippled through the force and thereby empowered nearby Darkside practitioners.

Instead of seeking to establish a temporal Empire like his master, Darth Mortis took only a single world as his own raising an increasingly powerful army and fleet. The fanatical forces of Darth Mortis reveled in hedonistic excess daily infrequently striding forth into the galaxy and wreaking havok in order to create wounds in the force. In his time, Darth Mortis became greater and more powerful than his former master had ever been.

Attempting to dabble in Darth Mortis’ teachings, Master Bloodfyre influenced Anshar Kahn to slaughter the former inmates of the penal colony of Yridia II during the Yridian Revolt.This turned Yridia II into a powerful wound in force, powerful enough to ripple throughout the entire Yridian system. It wasn’t just the slaughter, but the manner in which the terror was wrought, the former prisoners were slaughtered in small groups, bit by bit, driving fear into the hearts of the survivors, fear that their time was also nearly at an end.

Following this experience, Bloodfyre decided to create a group within the Clan Tarentum to further explore the writings of Darth Mortis. Years passed before Master Bloodfyre saw his opportunity to do so, until he found within the Shadesworn cult of the Clan Arcona a Kiffar of strength and vision who had previously served as an Imperial terrorist on Coruscant, following the death of the Emperor. Bloodfyre convinced the Equite to become his student and lieutenant.

Thus Etah d’Tana left Clan Arcona, his home for many years, and joined Tarentum. The former Imperial Stormtrooper fought for Tarentum in the last half of the Dark Crusades before becoming the first Aedile of House Mortis. Etah and Bloodfyre decided that a House was too public of a venue to create the Deathsworn cult and hid it within House Mortis.

Now the Deathsworn will write their own history in the blood of their victims.

==Organization==

Patron: Master Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae

Dark Jedi Master Sith Bloodfyre is the patron of the Deathsworn. The Grand Chamberlain of the Tarentae, a pillar of Tarentum and the Ghost Dragon of the esoteric Long family, the embodiment of Death itself. It was he who first answered the call of Darth Mortis and had the vision to bring the Deathsworn to life.

The patron is not generally in the field with the Deathsworn but directs their actions from elsewhere and has the final say on all operations and personnel decisions.

Vicar: Battlelord Etah d’Tana

Following this experience, Bloodfyre decided to create a group within the Clan Tarentum to further explore the writings of Darth Mortis. Years passed before Master Bloodfyre saw his opportunity to do so, until he found within the Shadesworn cult of the Clan Arcona a Kiffar of strength and vision who had previously served as an Imperial terrorist on Coruscant, following the death of the Emperor. Bloodfyre convinced the Equite to become his student and lieutenant.

Thus Etah d’Tana left Clan Arcona, his home for many years, and joined Tarentum. The former Imperial Stormtrooper fought for Tarentum in the last half of the Dark Crusades before becoming the first Aedile of House Mortis. Etah and Bloodfyre decided that a House was too public of a venue to create the Deathsworn cult and hid it within House Mortis.

Now the Deathsworn will write their own history in the blood of their victims.

==Organization==

Patron: Master Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae

Dark Jedi Master Sith Bloodfyre is the patron of the Deathsworn. The Grand Chamberlain of the Tarentae, a pillar of Tarentum and the Ghost Dragon of the esoteric Long family, the embodiment of Death itself. It was he who first answered the call of Darth Mortis and had the vision to bring the Deathsworn to life.

The patriarch is not generally in the field with the Deathsworn but directs their actions from elsewhere and has the final say on all operations and personnel decisions.

Vicar: Battlelord Etah d’Tana

Sith Battlelord Etah d’Tana was the first of Vicar of the Deathsworn. Master Bloodfyre sought Etah out from within the ranks of Arcona’s Shadesworn, handpicking Etah to help bring life to his vision.

The Vicar acts in lieu of the Patriarch commanding the Deathsworn in the field and acting as the overall leader of the group in his absence.

Harbinger: Battlelord Zekk

Sith Battlelord Zekk, second Aedile of House Mortis was the first Harbinger.

Higher ranking Sworn or Cultists may be appointed Harbingers. They answer to the Vicar in the field but operate independently, filling reconnaissance and special operations roles.

The Sworn: The line soldiers of the Deathsworn. Each of them posses shipboard skills such as piloting, astronavigation and mechanics as well as infantry skills such as blasters or explosives.

Cultist: Non-force users can serve the Deathsworn, though they don’t reap the benefits through the force, many of them are even more fanatical. They serve in a similar role as the Sworn.

==Precepts of the Deathsworn==

Master Bloodfyre and Battlelord Etah devised precepts for the Deathsworn based upon the writings of Darth Mortis and their collective experience.

* The Deathsworn kill large groups of innocent people to mass feelings of intense fear, anger, hate and suffering, which together create wounds that ripple and reverberate through the Force, empowering the Darkside.

* Genocide is the highest expression of death, but to create wounds there must be survivors to mourn the fallen.

* We should always attack the same city or planet more than once, but not too often or in any decipherable pattern. Certainty detracts from fear.

* The Deathsworn are terrorists and assassins, not soldiers or warriors. Our primary targets are the innocent and the harmless; they are mourned most bitterly.

* Whenever possible the Deathsworn conceal their identities masquerading as the enemies of their targets with the intention of causing reprisals from their victims against other innocent persons.

"Mors Vincit Omnia" - '''Death Conquers All'''

The Deathsworn are called such because they are sworn to serve until their Death, and view themselves as Death’s mortal embodiment. The Deathsworn revere death, almost as if it were a living entity, as such they do not fear dying, and mete out death to their enemies to gain Death’s favor. Functionally they resemble a combined arms military unit, with a variety of skills in both space and land combat, what separates the Deathsworn from the more orthodox military units of Tarentum such as the Grey Wolves and the Order of the Trident other than a lack of uniforms is their cult-like fanaticism and religious fervor to the philosophies devised by Master Bloodfyre.

The Deathsworn have various origins including the Shadesworn of Clan Arcona and the Death Dealers of Clan Tarentum, but first and foremost it is the House of Bloodfyre. The Deathsworn are blindingly loyal to Master Sith Bloodfyre, Death’s chosen servant, who uses the cult as his base of power, pursuing an agenda he feels is beneficial to the Clan including protecting the Clan from forces from without, and sometimes, within Tarentum.

==History==

In the course of his travels Master Sith Bloodfyre came across the journal of Darth Mortis, a Dark Lord of the Sith from a period thousands of years before the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and following two great wars that saw his master, only referred to as the Lord of Hunger, slain. Darth Mortis wrote at length about feeding the Darkside by creating wounds that rippled through the force and thereby empowered nearby Darkside practitioners.

Instead of seeking to establish a temporal Empire like his master, Darth Mortis took only a single world as his own raising an increasingly powerful army and fleet. The fanatical forces of Darth Mortis reveled in hedonistic excess daily infrequently striding forth into the galaxy and wreaking havok in order to create wounds in the force. In his time, Darth Mortis became greater and more powerful than his former master had ever been.

Attempting to dabble in Darth Mortis’ teachings, Master Bloodfyre influenced Anshar Kahn to slaughter the former inmates during the Yridian Revolt.This turned Yridia II into a powerful wound in force, powerful enough to ripple throughout the entire Yridian system. It wasn’t just the slaughter, but the manner in which the terror was wrought, the former prisoners were slaughtered in small groups, bit by bit, driving fear into the hearts of the survivors, fear that their time was also nearly at an end.

Following this experience, Bloodfyre decided to create a group within the Clan Tarentum to further explore the writings of Darth Mortis. Years passed before Master Bloodfyre saw his opportunity to do so, until he found within the Shadesworn cult of the Clan Arcona a Kiffar of strength and vision who had previously served as an Imperial terrorist on Coruscant, following the death of the Emperor.

{{Quote|Death conquers all.|Etah said upon arrival to Yridia II, presenting himself to Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre, circa 38 ABY}}

Though he was born a Tapani noble, life lead him to become a Dark Jedi. Among the Brotherhood, he was once sworn to the ever shifting shadows, but Etah now stands only amidst the darkest shadow where the spirits of the fallen surround and invigorate him. Once a loyal soldier of Arcona, he is now a Knight of Tarentum and a Harbinger of Death. He has set aside his blaster, setting himself apart from his time as a front line rifleman, and now focuses on mastering the lightsaber to the exclusion of all other forms of combat. From the beginning to the end, from the end to the beginning; like all things tend to be, Etah’s journey has been cyclical.

== Character History ==

===Childhood (5-20 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The weight of my future weighed heavy on my shoulders|, Etah to Psyko circa 25 ABY}}

Etah was born to a noble of the Tapani House Mecetti. His grandfather was a low ranked Knight, Sir Kisame, who gave his life in service to the High Lord of the House as a member of the Mecetti House Guard. Because of that noble sacrifice, his father was able to marry up within the House, becoming a Baron. Etah was born on the planet Nyssa but was raised on [[starwars:Obulette|Obulette]]. His childhood was quiet, he was well educated and though he lived in luxury he was known to be a little rough and tumble.

===Saber Rake (21-23 ABY/16-18 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Most dark Jedi fight with a blade, I was born with one in my hand|, Etah to Hades circa 38 ABY}}
[[File:Young_Etah.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Etah during his days as a young Saber Rake]]
By his mid-teen years Etah couldn’t be found without a lightfoil in his hands. He practiced form, he practiced footwork, he sparred against duelist droids and he fought other youths in back alley duels. He learned from the best and the brightest in his House. By the time he reached adulthood, Etah had secured a job as an officer of the House Guard, where he acted not only in a ceremonial capacity, as an actual bodyguard and was also used as a “troubleshooter.”

===The d'Tana Crime Family (24 ABY/19 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I don’t know what my ultimate purpose is, but I know what skills I possess|, Etah to Psyko circa 24 ABY}}

Working as a troubleshooter for the House Mecetti ended up taking Etah to the world of Nar Shaddaa. There, he wound up semi-undercover in the employ of the Tana Consortium, and that is how worlds collided. It was Selene who first sensed the nascent Force potential within him. She later theorized that he developed the Force within him by developing his skills as a duelist. Having nothing to inherit in the House Mecetti, it wasn’t terribly hard to convince him to join the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

=== The Clan of Shadows (25-26 ABY/20-21 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The shadows have always been my path|, Etah to Selene circa 25 ABY}}

Etah was first sent to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood's Shadow Academy. There he proved to be a mediocre force user but a highly skilled blade user -- not an incredible feat after becoming a Saber Rake of considerable skill. In time, he learned to channel the force through his body to aid his blade work in a manner not dissimilar to the Matukai, and even later on as an Equite, most of his use of the force was to aid him in dueling.

Very soon after joining the Clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood in 25 ABY, the young Saber Rake was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then-Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There, he learned basic infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as a troubleshooter for the Tapani House Mecetti. Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana Arconae, [[Proconsul]] of [[Arcona]] at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young [[Guardian]] Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]] where he lead for roughly a year and a half. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would subsequently be given the opportunity to serve as [[Aedile]] of the [[House Galeres]].
[[File:Carc-logo.jpg||200px|thumb|left]]
In 26 ABY the Deputy Grand Master Aristan Dantes, summoned Proconsul Koskian d’Tana of the Clan Arcona and Proconsul Phoenix of the Clan Scholae Palatinae separately, to meet with him on Antei. The two Proconsuls got involved in a scuffle. A short spat between both Clans ensued that included Phoenix abducting Etah and beating him, though not severely. Arcona crushed Scholae Palatinae and Phoenix immediately halted hostilities. Unbeknownst to most, the entire conflict was driven by a friendly bet between the two Proconsuls, and roughing up Koskian's apprentice was just for fun. Phoenix would later join the d’Tana family and ascend to its highest ranks.

After returning from his undercover mission to Eldar and shortly before officially being promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], the [[d'Tana]] family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named [[Rho]], were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men; Mafiosos whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family while being under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. Selene -- the pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah -- died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah, knowing no other home but Arcona, choose to remain among the shadow Clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

Etah was put in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, and originally used as a legal front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's, Etah was in charge of the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

When a majority of the Clan Arcona was called to the Antei system by the Grand Master, Etah stayed behind in the Dajorra system. The Arconan Fleet and most of its Dark Jedi left to join all the other Clans in a joint military exercise called Operation: Second Darkness. Taking his own journey, he worked on the development of his Force abilities and prepped for the Clans return, becoming a Dark Jedi Knight in the process.

===Shadesworn (27-29 ABY/22-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The ever shifting shadows were my birthright|, Etah to a group circa 27 ABY}}

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active, though uninspired leadership helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition during early 27 ABY. The young Tapani noble gave no objections about the choice of [[Sashar Arconae|Sashar]] as [[Quaestor]] to [[Consul]] Timeros, but Sashar, it seemed, had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The young noble had no time to grouse however, as the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconans that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short period.
[[File:ShadeswornKrathCloak.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Cloak of the Shadesworn]]
For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|8th Great Jedi War]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time. The cult of shadows suited his personality as a Saber Rake and foreshadowed his later embracing of necromancy.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah believed in the competition that he had rightfully earned the Quaestorship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Quaestor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediately followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events caused a rift between Etah and much of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

28 ABY was a very slow year for Etah and most in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Arconan Fleet hovered in space without purpose, avoiding the marauding Yuuzhan Vong, without a place to go. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Sashar was using influence over Mejas Doto to drive out those not specifically loyal to him, cementing his eventual rise to power. Most went silently into the night, but Etah hopelessly fought back.

Clan Plagueis’s Jusadih system didn’t need to be evacuated two years earlier, when most of the Dark Brotherhood systems were forced to. But in 29 ABY the Yuuzhan Vong began moving toward the system. Plagueis asked for assistance from Clan Scholae Palatinae, sworn enemy (at the time) of Clan Arcona. So when Scholae Palatinae rushed to the aid of Clan Plagueis, Arcona attempted to ambush the home system of Scholae Palatinae which also hadn’t been evacuated.

The Yuuzhan Vong arrived in the system and the three Clans worked together to defeat them. Following their victorious battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, the fleet of the Dark Council arrived. There was a black ops mission by the Soulfire Brigade in order to put Scholae Palatinae in an awkward position, but that operation was ultimately unsuccessful. Etah was the Commander of Aerospace Group (CAG) of the elite Blue Mist Squadron during this conflict and was a factor in the combined Joint Task Forces success against the Yuuzhan Vong.

=== The Dawn of Supremacy (30-31 ABY/25-26 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy| - Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also useful. The ongoing, public conflict between the two put the Obelisk Templar on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially-unofficially led by Timeros Entar. As an outsider the young Tapani was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, [[Vorion]], though Etah later lamented the fall of the man could have been his friend in other circumstances.
[[File:Etahs_Shadesworn_Saber.jpg||200px|thumb|left|The dueling saber Etah proudly carried during the time he was sworn to the shadows]]
In 30 ABY, approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Quaestors of both houses, both of whom were thought to be his cronies, though ironically both of them went on to join the [[Dark Council]] at later dates. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the sudden shift of power forced the Entar into the Quaestorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was officially back in good standing with his Clan and a great threat was eliminated.

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt its fleet. It decided that 30 ABY was the proper time to return to [[Antei]] and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan Vong they were planning to face had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In their place however, was a crackpot [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named [[Omancor Crask]], leading a band of anachronistic [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and their metal golems. [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]] killed Omancor Crask in one-on-one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en masse. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reoccupying the system. Upon returning to [[Dajorra]], it was found that the Garconan spice veins were tapped out. With Dajorran planets devoid of spice and the destruction of Coronada Station the d’Tana family made the decision that the future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

A short time after the war, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprenticeship to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentor's footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory in 31 ABY, Etah was elevated to [[Krath Archpriest]] and received a token of the Clans faith in him, in the form of a Seal of Loyalty. Not long after the Great Jedi War, Etah succeeded Timeros as Quaestor of House Galeres; and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order for reasons not publically stated.

Etah's tenure as Quaestor of the House Galeres started strong, as he worked with the Pronconsul to institute Project Reb00t, which was a dramatic restructuring of the Clan that didn’t ultimately perform well and as the Shadesworn organization made their existence known to the whole Clan. But during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, [[Zakath]], and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===A Legacy of Excellence (32-35 ABY/27-30 yrs old)===
{{Quote|We have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence| ―Etah in a communiqué to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

Though they are not years that stand out well to him amongst his memories 32 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]], leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its nightmarish [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] inhabitants. In 33 ABY, Etah joined the rest of the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] from [[Sith]] Incursion.

Following the Obelisk Order’s victorious war against the Sith Order, he was chosen by Justicar Kir Taldrya Katarn to serve as his Left Hand of Justice, a post he held for nearly two years, much longer than anyone had in the past. But there were no high profile cases during this time period. Instead, the first year mostly consisted of menial paperwork, but he spent the second year also serving with the Clan Arcona.
[[File:Etah_in_Arcona.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Etah the soldier]]
A call to invade [[New Tython]] came from the Dark Council in 35 ABY and Arcona eagerly responded, frothing at the mouth at the chance to extinguish the light Jedi blight from within the Brotherhood. Etah was involved in pre-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reinforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit. Sashar Erinos died during this operation and Etah is still conflicted about that.

Over the last several years Etah had watched the Erinos family, under Sashar’s careful control, come to dominate the Clan Arcona. This had been pattern had been interrupted by the placement of the new Consul, [[Wuntila Entar]] and the rise of Galeres Quaestor [[Sanguinus Entar]], setting both of these families on a collision course, with Etah’s d’Tana Family trapped squarely in the middle.

In response to a possible civil war brought on by the Erinos Family, Etah went off the reservation and attempted to assassinate [[Teroch Erinos]] and brought his family members and the family’s allies and associates with him. Despite his determination, Etah was unsuccessful at his task and Wuntila sent Etah’s mentor Timeros Entar to rein him in.

=== Great Trials on the Horizon (36-37 ABY/31-32 yrs old)===
{{Quote|You may be the Headmaster and you may be on the Dark Council but you will not destroy this facility without the authorization of the Star Chamber|, Alaris Jinn di Plagia circa 37 ABY}}

The Quaestor of Galeres, Sanguinus Entar, had a great amount of faith in Etah and placed him in command of the House’s premier unit, Specter Cell. Etah would lead the team well through several engagements. But before he took command, Etah first travelled to the [[Shadow Academy]] to receive his Dark Sage Law degree. In 36 ABY, everything went wonky, as the journeymen of the Brotherhood lost their abilities and began to transform into mindless zombies.

Etah allied with Alaris Jinn di Plagia, who had succeeded him as Left Hand of Justice, to oppose [[Headmaster]] [[Ronovi Tavisaen]] and her Praetor [[Solus Gar]] as they attempted to destroy the Shadow Academy to keep the Horizons plague from spreading -- ignoring the obvious fact that virus had already spread beyond the walls of the Academy. Before the Academy was destroyed, the Dark Council had found a cure for the Horizons virus. Etah shook hands with Alaris and left the Shadow Academy at the earliest opportunity.

Arcona had found an active pirate Space Port located just outside of the Dajorran system. They spent the next several years silently gaining control of the station, slowly turning it into a carefully constructed front. But, after all of that hard work on the part of House Qel-Droma, Arconan forces and safe houses across the station were suddenly overrun. It seemed that someone, at the very least, knew that an outside entity had taken control of the station.

Though Port Ol’val is a Qel-Droman asset, the Consul, Wuntila Entar, deemed the action a threat to the entire Clan. So Etah was assigned to a three-man team along with [[Legorii Kryotek]] Entar and [[Celevon Edraven]] and given an assignment. Though Celevon was largely absent, Etah and Legorii managed to get a lot of tasks accomplished. Underneath it all, this was a test of the members of Arcona, a Trial of Loyalty, so that Consul [[Wuntila]] Entar Arconae and Proconsul [[Marick Arconae]] knew who they could trust.
[[File:Etahs_Lightfoil.jpg|200px|thumb|left|As his time in Arcona began drawing to a close he began carrying a lightfoil again.]]
The Clan Arcona responded to a call for help from the House Plagueis. Etah wasn’t aware of all the factors going on, but he lead an assault on a members of a strange race called the Starweird, on the planet Kapsina; leading elements of his Specter Cell and members of the Soulfire Strike Team, Etah and the group emerged from the battle victorious. Like most members of the Clan Arcona, Etah felt at odds helping Plagueis, but everyone figure Wuntilla was playing an angle. In the end, the Plagueis Summit sacrificed themselves to cover the withdrawal of Arcona and the remaining members of Plagueis.

Not long after assisting the House Plagueis, Etah lead Spectre Cell in an assault on a Super-class Star Destroyer Avenger II, at the very beginning of what would come to be called the Dark Crusade. The Dark Crusade began as dealing with the political fallout from the actions of now-dead Grand Master Zoraan, then continued as a Holy Crusade to take the historically Sith planets in the Galaxy. The next year and a half was an exhausting series of skirmishes across the galaxy.

After a falling out with Aedile Cethgus, someone whom he had never really respected, Etah transferred to House Qel-Droma and took up leadership of the Battle Team Shadow Gate. It was during this time Etah began to sink into darker and darker depths of depravity and violence, shocking the more gray Jedi of the Clan Arcona who enjoy both the light and the dark of the ever-shifting Shadows. As combat against the One Sith began winding down, in 37 ABY Etah changed his Order to the Sith Order and was in short time promoted to Sith Battlelord. A short time later he once again realigned with the Obelisk Order for reasons he never made public.

Etah came to the Dark Brotherhood a bladesman but the Clan Arcona had made him into a soldier, a jarhead and a jackbooted thug no more than a tool for his betters to use to butcher their enemies. Etah had taken life as a young Saber Rake, but since becoming a soldier he had taken lives uncountable. The Obelisk felt the spirits of those dead following in his wake and invading his dreams. Those spirits lived just on the edge of his sanity and threatened to claim his soul.

===The Clan of Death (38 ABY/33 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The shadows shepherded me towards death, because death exists within the darkest of shadows.| Etah to Hades, circa 38 ABY}}
[[File:Tar-logo.jpg|right|200px]]
As a member of the Shadesworn cult, Etah had followed the shadows into ever-darker shadows. Tormented by spirits of the fallen, those whom he killed and those whom he led to their deaths, the Obelisk Exarch stood within the darkest shadow, and there he found death. Death drew him to Dark Jedi Master Sith Bloodfyre; Bloodfyre brought him to the House Tarentum and taught the Obelisk how to master those spirits.

As a member of Tarentum working under the pseudonym Aynar, Etah jumped right into combat, becoming ever more unhinged. Not in a sloppy way but in a scarily focused way. The appropriately termed Operation: Fading Light involved mopping up the One Sith and bringing the Dark Crusade to a close; but before combat operations could be brought to a true halt, the underlying cause of the Dark Crusade was revealed as a master stroke by many powerful Elder Dark Jedi. Tarentum supported the Clan Arcona in answering the call of the Dark Council.

The former House, now Clan Tarentum wearily emerged from the conflict, having done their part to aid the Dark Council. Transferring within Tarentum to the new Battle Team Mortis, Etah began laying the foundation for a powerful House of Dark Jedi and he began taking up the banner of the Grand Chamberlain in the face of other sects developing within the Clan. As he helps rebuild Tarentum, Tarentum rebuilds him.

==Appearance==
[[File:Etah_Portrait.jpg]]

===Robes===
[[File:DervishObelisk.jpg]]

==Psychological Profile==
There are a few different parts of Etah’s personality and they are sometimes in conflict with each other. Part of Etah will always be a jovial and glib playboy who delights in wine, women, song and laughter. Even in the tensest of moments this can cause the Obelisk to grin and issue one liners that make onlookers groan. The second part of him is a noble and duelist, who takes his responsibilities seriously and who single-mindedly, concentrates on the task at hand and his ultimate goals.

The last part of his personality is just now developing. When Etah became an Obelisk Templar in the Clan Arcona he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult. The Shadesworn reveled in moving between shades of light and darkness, but Etah only moved from dark to darker. After a number of years he had moved beyond shadows and into not but darkness. This change in his outlook led to him leaving Arcona for the Tarentum.

Shifting from the Shadows, into darkness and death itself was the result of several years of combat operations with the Clan Arcona. Several years of watching comrades die, several years of taking life after life, after life. Several years of dark nights alone, haunted by his memories, staring at the ceiling contemplating the meaning of the events he lived through and others did not.

Now after many years of embodying the chaos of the ever shifting shadows, Etah represents absolute darkness of death. The secrets of life, he believes, and the secret to death can be found in the communication with the spirits and the quest to lengthen his lifespan. Thus begins his new journey, thus begins his new goals.

==Combat==

===The Force===
Etah’s most powerful force abilities allow his body to move faster and more intuitively, making him even more deadly of a lightsaber duelist. If he can’t overcome his opponent with just his blade he calls forth the spirits of the dead to attack his opponents (a combination of blinding, affliction and terror). He has an assortment of less powerful force powers to round out his force abilities, most of which are the classical force powers of the Jedi.

===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah has studied lightsaber combat to the exclusion of all other forms of combat, since he was a teenager. He rightfully believes himself to be a master of the blade and it willing to prove it to anyone who doubts him. He doesn’t just wave a tube of light around, or even just stand in a proper guard. Etah utilizes proper body mechanics, has very fast footwork, uses range to his advantage, has a large selection of moves, or shots as he calls them, and fools his opponent with feinted shots combined with rapid combinations of shots.

====Primary Lightsaber Form: Makashi====
A watered down version of Makashi is the form Saber Rakes from the Tapani Sector use to fight each other with lightfoils, so this is the form Etah studied from the time he was a teenager. The Equite believes himself to be the apex of one-on-one lightsaber dueling and enough people have fallen to his blade to make the case for that to be true.

====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Shien====
Freely and quickly switching from the one-on-one dueling of Makashi, to the open style of Shien Etah has taken more than one group by surprise. He does not use the controversial reverse grip style, preferring a guard not dissimilar from Makashi’s, giving the added benefit of confusing his opponents as to which style he is using at the time.

{{Quote|“Death conquers all.”|Etah said upon arrival to Yridia II, presenting himself to Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre, circa 38 ABY}}

Though he was born a Tapani noble, life lead him to become a Dark Jedi. Among the Brotherhood, he was once sworn to the ever shifting shadows, but Etah now stands only amidst the darkest shadow where the spirits of the fallen surround and invigorate him. Once a loyal soldier of Arcona, he is now a Knight of Tarentum and a Harbinger of Death. He has set aside his blaster, setting himself apart from his time as a front line rifleman, and now focuses on mastering the lightsaber to the exclusion of all other forms of combat. From the beginning to the end, from the end to the beginning; like all things tend to be, Etah’s journey has been cyclical.

== Character History ==

===Childhood (5-20 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|“The weight of my future weighed heavy on my shoulders”|, Etah to Psyko circa 25 ABY}}

Etah was born to a noble of the Tapani House Mecetti. His grandfather was a low ranked Knight, Sir Kisame, who gave his life in service to the High Lord of the House as a member of the Mecetti House Guard. Because of that noble sacrifice, his father was able to marry up within the House, becoming a Baron. Etah was born on the planet Nyssa but was raised on [[starwars: Obulette]]. His childhood was quiet, he was well educated and though he lived in luxury he was known to be a little rough and tumble.

===Saber Rake (21-23 ABY/16-18 yrs old)===
{{Quote|“Most dark Jedi fight with a blade, I was born with one in my hand”|, Etah to Hades circa 38 ABY}}

By his mid-teen years Etah couldn’t be found without a lightfoil in his hands. He practiced form, he practiced footwork, he sparred against duelist droids and he fought other youths in back alley duels. He learned from the best and the brightest in his House. By the time he reached adulthood, Etah had secured a job as an officer of the House Guard, where he acted not only in a ceremonial capacity, as an actual bodyguard and was also used as a “troubleshooter.”

===The d'Tana Crime Family (24 ABY/19 yrs old)===
{{Quote|“I don’t know what my ultimate purpose is, but I know what skills I possess”|, Etah to Psyko circa 24 ABY}}

Working as a troubleshooter for the House Mecetti ended up taking Etah to the world of Nar Shaddaa. There, he wound up semi-undercover in the employ of the Tana Consortium, and that is how worlds collided. It was Selene who first sensed the nascent Force potential within him. She later theorized that he developed the Force within him by developing his skills as a duelist. Having nothing to inherit in the House Mecetti, it wasn’t terribly hard to convince him to join the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

=== The Clan of Shadows (25-26 ABY/20-21 yrs old)===
{{Quote|“The shadows have always been my path”|, Etah to Selene circa 25 ABY}}

Etah was first sent to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood's Shadow Academy. There he proved to be a mediocre force user but a highly skilled blade user -- not an incredible feat after becoming a Saber Rake of considerable skill. In time, he learned to channel the force through his body to aid his blade work in a manner not dissimilar to the Matukai, and even later on as an Equite, most of his use of the force was to aid him in dueling.

Very soon after joining the Clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood in 25 ABY, the young Saber Rake was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then-Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There, he learned basic infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as a troubleshooter for the [[starwars:Tapani|Tapani]] House Mecetti. [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, [[Proconsul]] of [[Arcona]] at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young [[Guardian]] Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]] where he lead for roughly a year and a half. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would subsequently be given the opportunity to serve as [[Aedile]] of the [[House Galeres]].

In 26 ABY the Deputy Grand Master Aristan Dantes, summoned Proconsul Koskian d’Tana of the Clan Arcona and Proconsul Phoenix of the Clan Scholae Palatinae separately, to meet with him on Antei. The two Proconsuls got involved in a scuffle. A short spat between both Clans ensued that included Phoenix abducting Etah and beating him, though not severely. Arcona crushed Scholae Palatinae and Phoenix immediately halted hostilities. Unbeknownst to most, the entire conflict was driven by a friendly bet between the two Proconsuls, and roughing up Koskian's apprentice was just for fun. Phoenix would later join the d’Tana family and ascend to its highest ranks.

After returning from his undercover mission to Eldar and shortly before officially being promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], the [[d'Tana]] family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named [[Rho]], were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men; Mafiosos whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family while being under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. Selene -- the pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah -- died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah, knowing no other home but Arcona, choose to remain among the shadow Clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

Etah was put in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, and originally used as a legal front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's, Etah was in charge of the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

When a majority of the Clan Arcona was called to the Antei system by the Grand Master, Etah stayed behind in the Dajorra system. The Arconan Fleet and most of its Dark Jedi left to join all the other Clans in a joint military exercise called Operation: Second Darkness. Taking his own journey, he worked on the development of his Force abilities and prepped for the Clans return, becoming a Dark Jedi Knight in the process.

===Shadesworn (27-29 ABY/22-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|“The ever shifting shadows were my birthright”|, Etah to a group circa 27 ABY}}

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active, though uninspired leadership helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition during early 27 ABY. The young Tapani noble gave no objections about the choice of [[Sashar Arconae|Sashar]] as [[Quaestor]] to [[Consul Timeros]], but Sashar, it seemed, had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The young noble had no time to grouse however, as the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconans that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short period.

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|8th Great Jedi War]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time. The cult of shadows suited his personality as a Saber Rake and foreshadowed his later embracing of necromancy.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah believed in the competition that he had rightfully earned the Quaestorship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Quaestor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediately followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events caused a rift between Etah and much of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

28 ABY was a very slow year for Etah and most in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Arconan Fleet hovered in space without purpose, avoiding the marauding Yuuzhan Vong, without a place to go. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Sashar was using influence over Mejas Doto to drive out those not specifically loyal to him, cementing his eventual rise to power. Most went silently into the night, but Etah hopelessly fought back.

Clan Plagueis’s Jusadih system didn’t need to be evacuated two years earlier, when most of the Dark Brotherhood systems were forced to. But in 29 ABY the Yuuzhan Vong began moving toward the system. Plagueis asked for assistance from Clan Scholae Palatinae, sworn enemy (at the time) of Clan Arcona. So when Scholae Palatinae rushed to the aid of Clan Plagueis, Arcona attempted to ambush the home system of Scholae Palatinae which also hadn’t been evacuated.

The Yuuzhan Vong arrived in the system and the three Clans worked together to defeat them. Following their victorious battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, the fleet of the Dark Council arrived. There was a black ops mission by the Soulfire Brigade in order to put Scholae Palatinae in an awkward position, but that operation was ultimately unsuccessful. Etah was the Commander of Aerospace Group (CAG) of the elite Blue Mist Squadron during this conflict and was a factor in the combined Joint Task Forces success against the Yuuzhan Vong.

=== The Dawn of Supremacy (30-31 ABY/25-26 yrs old)===
{{Quote|"The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy"| - Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also useful. The ongoing, public conflict between the two put the Obelisk Templar on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially-unofficially led by Timeros Entar. As an outsider the young Tapani was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, [[Vorion]], though Etah later lamented the fall of the man could have been his friend in other circumstances.

In 30 ABY, approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Quaestors of both houses, both of whom were thought to be his cronies, though ironically both of them went on to join the [[Dark Council]] at later dates. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the sudden shift of power forced the Entar into the Quaestorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was officially back in good standing with his Clan and a great threat was eliminated.

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt its fleet. It decided that 30 ABY was the proper time to return to [[Antei]] and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan Vong they were planning to face had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In their place however, was a crackpot [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named [[Omancor Crask]], leading a band of anachronistic [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and their metal golems. [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]] killed Omancor Crask in one-on-one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en masse. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reoccupying the system. Upon returning to [[Dajorra]], it was found that the Garconan spice veins were tapped out. With Dajorran planets devoid of spice and the destruction of Coronada Station the d’Tana family made the decision that the future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

A short time after the war, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprenticeship to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentor's footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory in 31 ABY, Etah was elevated to [[Krath Archpriest]] and received a token of the Clans faith in him, in the form of a Seal of Loyalty. Not long after the Great Jedi War, Etah succeeded Timeros as Quaestor of House Galeres; and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order for reasons not publically stated.

Etah's tenure as Quaestor of the House Galeres started strong, as he worked with the Pronconsul to institute Project Reb00t, which was a dramatic restructuring of the Clan that didn’t ultimately perform well and as the Shadesworn organization made their existence known to the whole Clan. But during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, [[Zakath]], and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===A Legacy of Excellence (32-35 ABY/27-30 yrs old)===
{{Quote|“We have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence”| ―Etah in a communiqué to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

Though they are not years that stand out well to him amongst his memories 32 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]], leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its nightmarish [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] inhabitants. In 33 ABY, Etah joined the rest of the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] from [[Sith]] Incursion.

Following the Obelisk Order’s victorious war against the Sith Order, he was chosen by Justicar Kir Taldrya Katarn to serve as his Left Hand of Justice, a post he held for nearly two years, much longer than anyone had in the past. But there were no high profile cases during this time period. Instead, the first year mostly consisted of menial paperwork, but he spent the second year also serving with the Clan Arcona.

A call to invade [[New Tython]] came from the Dark Council in 35 ABY and Arcona eagerly responded, frothing at the mouth at the chance to extinguish the light Jedi blight from within the Brotherhood. Etah was involved in pre-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reinforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit. Sashar Erinos died during this operation and Etah is still conflicted about that.

Over the last several years Etah had watched the Erinos family, under Sashar’s careful control, come to dominate the Clan Arcona. This had been pattern had been interrupted by the placement of the new Consul, [[Wuntila Entar]] and the rise of Galeres Quaestor [[Sanguinus Entar]], setting both of these families on a collision course, with Etah’s d’Tana Family trapped squarely in the middle.

In response to a possible civil war brought on by the Erinos Family, Etah went off the reservation and attempted to assassinate [[Teroch Erinos]] and brought his family members and the family’s allies and associates with him. Despite his determination, Etah was unsuccessful at his task and Wuntila sent Etah’s mentor Timeros Entar to rein him in.

=== Great Trials on the Horizon (36-37 ABY/31-32 yrs old)===
{{Quote|“You may be the Headmaster and you may be on the Dark Council but you will not destroy this facility without the authorization of the Star Chamber”|, Alaris Jinn di Plagia circa 37 ABY}}

The Quaestor of Galeres, Sanguinus Entar, had a great amount of faith in Etah and placed him in command of the House’s premier unit, Specter Cell. Etah would lead the team well through several engagements. But before he took command, Etah first travelled to the [[Shadow Academy]] to receive his Dark Sage Law degree. In 36 ABY, everything went wonky, as the journeymen of the Brotherhood lost their abilities and began to transform into mindless zombies.

Etah allied with Alaris Jinn di Plagia, who had succeeded him as Left Hand of Justice, to oppose [[Headmaster]] [[Ronovi Tavisaen]] and her Praetor [[Solus Gar]] as they attempted to destroy the Shadow Academy to keep the Horizons plague from spreading -- ignoring the obvious fact that virus had already spread beyond the walls of the Academy. Before the Academy was destroyed, the Dark Council had found a cure for the Horizons virus. Etah shook hands with Alaris and left the Shadow Academy at the earliest opportunity.

Arcona had found an active pirate Space Port located just outside of the Dajorran system. They spent the next several years silently gaining control of the station, slowly turning it into a carefully constructed front. But, after all of that hard work on the part of House Qel-Droma, Arconan forces and safe houses across the station were suddenly overrun. It seemed that someone, at the very least, knew that an outside entity had taken control of the station.

Though Port Ol’val is a Qel-Droman asset, the Consul, Wuntila Entar, deemed the action a threat to the entire Clan. So Etah was assigned to a three-man team along with [[Legorii Kryotek]] Entar and [[Celevon Edraven]] and given an assignment. Though Celevon was largely absent, Etah and Legorii managed to get a lot of tasks accomplished. Underneath it all, this was a test of the members of Arcona, a Trial of Loyalty, so that Consul [[Wuntila]] Entar Arconae and Proconsul [[Marick Arconae]] knew who they could trust.

The Clan Arcona responded to a call for help from the House Plagueis. Etah wasn’t aware of all the factors going on, but he lead an assault on a members of a strange race called the Starweird, on the planet Kapsina; leading elements of his Specter Cell and members of the Soulfire Strike Team, Etah and the group emerged from the battle victorious. Like most members of the Clan Arcona, Etah felt at odds helping Plagueis, but everyone figure Wuntilla was playing an angle. In the end, the Plagueis Summit sacrificed themselves to cover the withdrawal of Arcona and the remaining members of Plagueis.

Not long after assisting the House Plagueis, Etah lead Spectre Cell in an assault on a Super-class Star Destroyer Avenger II, at the very beginning of what would come to be called the Dark Crusade. The Dark Crusade began as dealing with the political fallout from the actions of now-dead Grand Master Zoraan, then continued as a Holy Crusade to take the historically Sith planets in the Galaxy. The next year and a half was an exhausting series of skirmishes across the galaxy.

After a falling out with Aedile Cethgus, someone whom he had never really respected, Etah transferred to House Qel-Droma and took up leadership of the Battle Team Shadow Gate. It was during this time Etah began to sink into darker and darker depths of depravity and violence, shocking the more gray Jedi of the Clan Arcona who enjoy both the light and the dark of the ever-shifting Shadows. As combat against the One Sith began winding down, in 37 ABY Etah changed his Order to the Sith Order and was in short time promoted to Sith Battlelord. A short time later he once again realigned with the Obelisk Order for reasons he never made public.

Etah came to the Dark Brotherhood a bladesman but the Clan Arcona had made him into a soldier, a jarhead and a jackbooted thug no more than a tool for his betters to use to butcher their enemies. Etah had taken life as a young Saber Rake, but since becoming a soldier he had taken lives uncountable. The Obelisk felt the spirits of those dead following in his wake and invading his dreams. Those spirits lived just on the edge of his sanity and threatened to claim his soul.

===The Clan of Death (38 ABY/33 yrs old)===
{{Quote|“The shadows shepherded me towards death, because death exists within the darkest of shadows. ”| Etah to Hades, circa 38 ABY}}

As a member of the Shadesworn cult, Etah had followed the shadows into ever-darker shadows. Tormented by spirits of the fallen, those whom he killed and those whom he led to their deaths, the Obelisk Exarch stood within the darkest shadow, and there he found death. Death drew him to Dark Jedi Master Sith Bloodfyre; Bloodfyre brought him to the House Tarentum and taught the Obelisk how to master those spirits.

As a member of Tarentum working under the pseudonym Aynar, Etah jumped right into combat, becoming ever more unhinged. Not in a sloppy way but in a scarily focused way. The appropriately termed Operation: Fading Light involved mopping up the One Sith and bringing the Dark Crusade to a close; but before combat operations could be brought to a true halt, the underlying cause of the Dark Crusade was revealed as a master stroke by many powerful Elder Dark Jedi. Tarentum supported the Clan Arcona in answering the call of the Dark Council.

The former House, now Clan Tarentum wearily emerged from the conflict, having done their part to aid the Dark Council. Transferring within Tarentum to the new Battle Team Mortis, Etah began laying the foundation for a powerful House of Dark Jedi and he began taking up the banner of the Grand Chamberlain in the face of other sects developing within the Clan. As he helps rebuild Tarentum, Tarentum rebuilds him.

==Appearance==

===Robes===

==Psychological Profile==

There are a few different parts of Etah’s personality and they are sometimes in conflict with each other. Part of Etah will always be a jovial and glib playboy who delights in wine, women, song and laughter. Even in the tensest of moments this can cause the Obelisk to grin and issue one liners that make onlookers groan. The second part of him is a noble and duelist, who takes his responsibilities seriously and who single-mindedly, concentrates on the task at hand and his ultimate goals.

The last part of his personality is just now developing. When Etah became an Obelisk Templar in the Clan Arcona he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult. The Shadesworn reveled in moving between shades of light and darkness, but Etah only moved from dark to darker. After a number of years he had moved beyond shadows and into not but darkness. This change in his outlook led to him leaving Arcona for the Tarentum.

Shifting from the Shadows, into darkness and death itself was the result of several years of combat operations with the Clan Arcona. Several years of watching comrades die, several years of taking life after life, after life. Several years of dark nights alone, haunted by his memories, staring at the ceiling contemplating the meaning of the events he lived through and others did not.

Now after many years of embodying the chaos of the ever shifting shadows, Etah represents absolute darkness of death. The secrets of life, he believes, and the secret to death can be found in the communication with the spirits and the quest to lengthen his lifespan. Thus begins his new journey, thus begins his new goals.

==Combat==

===The Force===
Etah’s most powerful force abilities allow his body to move faster and more intuitively, making him even more deadly of a lightsaber duelist. If he can’t overcome his opponent with just his blade he calls forth the spirits of the dead to attack his opponents (a combination of blinding, affliction and terror). He has an assortment of less powerful force powers to round out his force abilities, most of which are the classical force powers of the Jedi.

===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah has studied lightsaber combat to the exclusion of all other forms of combat, since he was a teenager. He rightfully believes himself to be a master of the blade and it willing to prove it to anyone who doubts him. He doesn’t just wave a tube of light around, or even just stand in a proper guard. Etah utilizes proper body mechanics, has very fast footwork, uses range to his advantage, has a large selection of moves, or shots as he calls them, and fools his opponent with feinted shots combined with rapid combinations of shots.

====Primary Lightsaber Form: Makashi====
A watered down version of Makashi is the form Saber Rakes from the Tapani Sector use to fight each other with lightfoils, so this is the form Etah studied from the time he was a teenager. The Equite believes himself to be the apex of one-on-one lightsaber dueling and enough people have fallen to his blade to make the case for that to be true.

====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Shien====
Freely and quickly switching from the one-on-one dueling of Makashi, to the open style of Shien Etah has taken more than one group by surprise. He does not use the controversial reverse grip style, preferring a guard not dissimilar from Makashi’s, giving the added benefit of confusing his opponents as to which style he is using at the time.

{{Quote|Death conquers all.|Etah said upon arrival to Yridia II, presenting himself to Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre, circa 38 ABY}}

Though he was born a Tapani noble, life led him to become a Dark Jedi. Among the Brotherhood, he was once sworn to the ever shifting shadows, but Etah now stands only amidst the darkest shadow where the spirits of the fallen surround him and invigorate him. Once a loyal soldier of Arcona, he is now a Knight of Tarentum and a Harbinger of Death. He has set aside his blaster, setting himself apart from his time as a front line rifleman, and now focuses on mastering the lightsaber to the exclusion of all other forms of combat. From the beginning to the end, from the end to the beginning; like all things tend to be, Etah’s journey has been cyclical.

== Character History ==

===Childhood (5-20 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The weight of my future weighed heavy on my shoulders|, Etah to Psyko circa 25 ABY}}

Etah was born to a noble of the Tapani House Mecetti. His grandfather was a low ranked Knight, Sir Kisame who gave his life in service to the High Lord of the House as a member of the Mecetti House Guard. Because of that noble sacrifice his father was able to marry up within the House, becoming a Baron. Etah was born on the planet Nyssa but was raised on [[starwars:Obulette|Obulette]]. His childhood was quiet, he was well educated and though he lived in luxury he was known to be a little rough and tumble.

===Saber Rake (21-23 ABY/16-18 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Most dark Jedi fight with a blade, I was born with one in my hand|, Etah to Hades circa 38 ABY}}

By his mid-teen years Etah couldn’t be found without a lightfoil in his hands. He practiced form, he practiced footwork, he sparred against duelist droids and he fought other youths in back alley duels. He learned from the best and the brightest in his House. By the time he reached adulthood, Etah had secured a job as an officer of the House Guard, where he acted in a ceremonial capacity, as an actual bodyguard and was also used as a “troubleshooter.”

===The d'Tana Crime Family (24 ABY/19 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I don’t know what my ultimate purpose is, but I know what skills I possess|, Etah to Psyko circa 24 ABY}}

Working as a troubleshooter for the House Mecetti ended up taking Etah to the world of Nar Shaddaa, There he wound up semi-undercover in the employ of the Tana Consortium and that is how worlds collided. It was Selene who first sensed the nascent force potential within him. She later theorized that he developed the force within him by developing his skills as a duelist. Having nothing to inherit in the House Mecetti, it wasn’t terribly hard to convince him to join the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

=== The Clan of Shadows (25-26 ABY/20-21 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The shadows have always been my path|, Etah to Selene circa 25 ABY}}

Etah was first sent the the Dark Jedi Brotherhoods Shadow Academy. There he proved to be a mediocre force user but a highly skilled blade user, not an incredible feat after becoming a Saber Rake of considerable skill. In time he learned to channel the force through his body to aid his blade work in a manner not dissimilar to the Matukai and even later on as an Equite most of his use of the force was to aid him in dueling.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood in 25 ABY, the young Saber Rake was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he learned basic infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an trouble shooter for the [[starwars:Tapani|Tapani]] [[starwars:House Mecetti| House Mecetti]]. [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, [[Proconsul]] of [[Arcona]] at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young [[Guardian]] Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]] where he lead for roughly a year and a half. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would subsequently be given the opportunity to serve as [[Aedile]] of the [[House Galeres]].

In 26 ABY the Deputy Grand Master Aristan Dantes, summoned Proconsul Koskinen d’Tana of the Clan Arcona and Proconsul Phoenix of the Clan Scholae Palatinae separately, to meet with him on Antei. The two Proconsuls got involved in a scuffle. A short spat between both clans ensued that included Phoenix abducting Etah and beating him, though not severely. Arcona crushed Scholae Palatinae and Phoenix immediately halted hostilities. Unbeknownst to most, the entire conflict was driven by a friendly bet between the two Proconsuls and roughing up Koskians apprentice was just for fun. Phoenix would later join the d’Tana family and ascend to its highest ranks.

After returning from his undercover mission to Eldar and shortly before officially being promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], the [[d'Tana]] family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named [[Rho]], were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men; Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family while being under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

Etah was put in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, and originally used as a legal front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's, Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

When a majority of the Clan Arcona was call to the Antai system by the Grand Master, Etah stayed behind in the Dajorra system. The Arconan Fleet and most of its Dark Jedi left to join all the other Clans in a joint military exercise called Operation: Second Darkness. Taking his own journey he worked on the development of his force abilities and prepped for the Clans return, becoming a Dark Jedi Knight in the process.

===Shadesworn (27-29 ABY/22-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The ever shifting shadows were my birthright|, Etah to a group circa 27 ABY}}

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition during early 27 ABY. The young Tapani noble gave no objections about the choice of [[Sashar Arconae|Sashar]] as [[Quaestor]] to [[Consul Timeros]], but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The young noble had no time to grouse however, as the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short period.

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|8th Great Jedi War]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time. The cult of shadows suited his personality as a Saber Rake and foreshadowed his later embracement of necromancy.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah believed in the competition that he had rightfully earned the Quaestor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Quaestor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediately followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events caused a rift between Etah and much of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

28 ABY was a very slow year for Etah and most in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Arconan Fleet hovered in space without purpose, avoiding the marauding Yuuzhan Vong, without a place to go. Meanwhile behind the scenes Sashar was using influence over Mejas Doto to drive out those not specifically loyal to him, cementing his eventual rise to power. Most went silently into the night but Etah hopelessly fought back.

Clan Plagueis’s Jusadih system didn’t need to be evacuated two years earlier, when most of the Dark Brotherhood systems were forced too. But in 29 ABY the Yuuzhan Vong began moving toward the system. Plagueis asked for assistance from Clan Scholae Palatinae, sworn enemy at the time, of Clan Arcona. So when Scholae Palatinae rushed to the aid of Clan Plagueis, Arcona attempted to ambush the home system of Scholae Palatinae which also hadn’t been evacuated.

The Yuuzhan Vong arrived in the system and the three Clans worked together to defeat them. Following their victorious battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, the fleet of the Dark Council arrived. There was a black ops mission by the Soulfire Brigade in order to put Scholae Palatinae in an awkward position, but that operation was ultimately unsuccessful. Etah was the Commander of Aerospace Group (CAG) of the elite Blue Mist Squadron during this conflict and was a factor in the combined Joint Task Forces success against the Yuuzhan Vong.

=== The Dawn of Supremacy (30-31 ABY/25-26 yrs old)===
{{Quote|"The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy"| - Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also useful. The ongoing, public conflict between the two put the Obelisk Templar on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar. As an outsider the young Tapani was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, [[Vorion]], though Etah later lamented the fall of the man could have been his friend in other circumstances.

In 30 ABY, approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Quaestors of both houses, both of whom were thought to be his cronies, though ironically both of them went on to join the [[Dark Council]] at later dates. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the sudden shift of power forced the Entar into the Quaestorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was officially back in good standing with his Clan and a great threat was eliminated.

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt its fleet. It decided that 30 ABY was the proper time to return to [[Antei]] and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan Vong they were planning to face had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In their place however, was a crackpot [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named [[Omancor Crask]], leading a band of anachronistic [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi's]] that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and their metal golems. [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]] killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en masse. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reoccupying the system. Upon returning to [[Dajorra]], it was found that the Garconan spice veins were tapped out. With Dajorran planets devoid of spice and the destruction of Coronada Station the d’Tana family made the decision that the future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

A short time after the war, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprenticeship to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentor's footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory in 31 ABY, Etah was elevated to [[Krath Archpriest]] and received a token of the Clans faith in him, in the form of a Seal of Loyalty. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Quaestor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order for reasons not publically stated.

Etah's tenure as Quaestor of the House Galeres started strong, as he worked with the Pronconsul to institute Project Reb00t, which was a dramatic restructuring of the Clan that didn’t ultimately perform well and as the Shadesworn organization made their existence known to the whole Clan. But during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, [[Zakath]], and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===A Legacy of Excellence (32-35 ABY/27-30 yrs old)===
{{Quote|We have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence| ―Etah in a communique to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

Though they are not years that stand out well to him amongst his memories 32 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]], leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its nightmarish [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the rest of the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] from [[Sith]] Incursion.

Following the Obelisk Orders victorious war against the Sith Order he was chosen by Justicar Kir Taldryia to serve as his left hand of Justice, a post he held for nearly two years, much longer than anyone had in the past. But there were no high profile cases during this time period. Instead, the first year mostly consisted of menial paperwork but he spent the second year also serving with the Clan Arcona.

A call to invade [[New Tython]] came from the Dark Council in 35 ABY and Arcona eagerly responded, frothing at the mouth at the chance to extinguish the light Jedi blight from within the Brotherhood. Etah was involved in pre-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reinforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit. Sashar Erinos died during this operation and Etah is still conflicted about that.

Over the last several years Etah had watched the Erinos family under Sashar’s careful control, come to dominate the Clan Arcona. This had been pattern had been interrupted by the placement of the new Consul, [[Wuntila Entar]] and the rise of Galeres Quaestor [[Sanguinus Entar]], setting both of these families on a collision course, with Etah’s d’Tana Family trapped squarely in the middle.

In response to a possible civil war brought on by the Erinos Family, Etah went off the reservation and attempted to assassinate [[Teroch Erinos]] and brought his family members and the families allies and associates with him. Despite his determination Etah was unsuccessful at his task and Wuntila sent Etah’s mentor Timeros Entar to rein him in.

=== Great Trials on the Horizon (36-37 ABY/31-32 yrs old)===
{{Quote|You may be the Headmaster and you may be on the Dark Council but you will not destroy this facility without the authorization of the Star Chamber|, Alaris Jinn di Plagia circa 37 ABY}}

Quaestor of Galeres, Sanguinus Entar had a great amount of faith in Etah and placed him in command of the Houses premier unit, Specter Cell. Etah would lead the team well through several engagements. But before he could take command, Etah travelled to the [[Shadow Academy]] to receive his Dark Sage Law degree in 36 ABY, everything went wonky. As the journeymen of the Brotherhood lost their abilities and began to transform into mindless zombies.

Etah allied with Alaris Jinn di Plagia who succeeded him as Left Hand of Justice, to oppose [[Headmaster]] [[Ronovi Tavisaen]] and her Praetor [[Solus Gar]] as they attempted to destroy the Shadow Academy to keep the Horizons plague from spreading. Ignoring the obvious fact that virus had already spread beyond the walls of the Academy. Before the Academy was destroyed, the Dark Council had found a cure for the Horizons virus. Etah shook hands with Alaris and left the Shadow Academy at the earliest opportunity.

Arcona had found an active pirate Space Port located just outside of the Dajorran system. They spent the next several years, silently gaining control of the station, slowly turning it into a carefully constructed front. But in after all that hard work on the part of House Qel-Droma, Arconan forces and safe houses across the station were suddenly overrun. It seemed that someone, at the very least, knew that an outside entity had taken control of the station.

Though Port Ol’val is a Qel-Droman asset, the Consul, Wuntila Entar, deemed the action a threat to the entire Clan. So Etah was assigned to a three-man team along with [[Legorii Kryotek]] Entar and [[Celevon Edraven]] and given an assignment. Though Celevon was largely absent, Etah and Legorii managed to get a lot of tasks accomplished. Underneath it all, this was a test of the members of Arcona, a Trial of Loyalty, so that Consul [[Wuntila]] Entar Arconae and Proconsul [[Marick Arconae]] knew who they could trust.

The Clan Arcona responded to a call for help from the House Plagueis. Etah wasn’t aware of all the factors going on but he lead an assault on a members of a strange race called the Starweird on the planet Kapsina, leading elements of his Specter Cell and members of the Soulfire Strike Team, the group emerged from the battle victorious. Like most members of the Clan Arcona, helping Plagueis seemed weird but everyone figure Wuntilla was playing an angle. In the end the Plagueis Summit sacrificed themselves to cover the withdrawal of Arcona and the remaining members of Plagueis.

Not long after assisting the House Plagueis Etah lead Spectre Cell in an assault on a Super-class Star Destroyer Avenger II, at the very beginning of what would come to be called the Dark Crusade. The Dark Crusade began as dealing with the political fallout from the actions of now dead Grand Master Zoraan. Then continued as a Holy Crusade to take the historically Sith planets in the Galaxy. The next year and a half was an exhausting series of skirmishes across the galaxy.

After a falling out with Aedile Cethgus, someone whom he had never really respected. Etah transferred to House Qel-Droma and took up leadership of the Battle Team Shadow Gate. It was during this time Etah began to sink into darker and darker depths of depravity and violence, shocking the more gray Jedi of the Clan Arcona who enjoy both the light and the dark of the ever shifting Shadows. As combat against the One Sith began winding down. In 37 ABY Etah changed his Order to the Sith Order and was in short time promoted to Sith Battle Lord. A short time later he once again realigned with the Obelisk Order for reasons he never made public.

Etah came to the Dark Brotherhood a bladesman but the Clan Arcona had made him into a soldier, a jarhead and a jackbooted thug no more than a tool for his betters to use to butcher their enemies. Etah had taken life as a young Saber Rake, but since becoming a soldier he had taken lives uncountable. The Obelisk felt the spirits of those dead following in his wake and invading his dreams. Those spirits lived just on the edge of his sanity and threatened to claim his soul.

===The Clan of Death (38 ABY/33 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The shadows shepherded me towards death, because death exists within the darkest of shadows.| Etah to Hades, circa 38 ABY}}

As a member of the Shadesworn cult Etah had followed the shadows into ever darker shadows. Tormented by spirits of the fallen, those whom he killed and those whom he led to their deaths, the Obelisk Exarch stood within the darkest shadow and there he found death. Death drew him to Dark Jedi Master Sith Bloodfyre. Bloodfyre brought him to the House Tarentum and taught the Obelisk how to master those spirits.

As a member of Tatentum working under the pseudonym Aynar, Etah jumped right into combat, becoming ever more unhinged. Not in a sloppy way but in a scarily focused way. The appropriately termed Operation: Fading Light involved mopping up the One Sith and bringing the Dark Crusade to a close but before combat operations could be brought to a true halt, the underlying cause of the Dark Crusade was revealed as a Master Stroke by many powerful Elder Dark Jedi. Tatentum supported the Clan Arcona in answering the call of the Dark Council.

The former House, now Clan Tarentum wearily emerged from the conflict, having done their part to aid the Dark Council.Transferring within Tarentum to the new Battle Team Mortis, Etah began laying the foundation for a powerful House of Dark Jedi and he began taking up the banner of the Grand Chamberlain in the face of other sects developing within the Clan. As he helps rebuild Tarentum, Tarentum rebuilds him.

==Appearance==

===Portrait===

===Robes===

==Psychological Profile==

There are a few different parts of Etah’s personality and they are sometimes in conflict with each other. Part of Etah will always be a jovial and glib playboy who delights in wine, women, song and laughter. Even in the tensest of moments this can cause the Obelisk to grin and issue one liners that make onlookers groan. The second part of him is a noble and duelist, who takes his responsibilities seriously and who single-mindedly, concentrates on the task at hand and his ultimate goals.

The last part of his personality is just now developing. When Etah became an Obelisk Templar in the Clan Arcona he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult. The Shadesworn reveled in moving between shades of light and darkness, but Etah only moved from dark to darker. After a number of years he had moved beyond shadows and into not but darkness. This change in his outlook led to him leaving Arcona for the Tarentum.

Shifting from the Shadows, into darkness and death itself was the result of several years of combat operations with the Clan Arcona. Several years of watching comrades die, several years of taking life after life, after life. Several years of dark nights alone, haunted by his memories, staring at the ceiling contemplating the meaning of the events he lived through and others did not.

Now after many years of embodying the chaos of the ever shifting shadows, Etah represents absolute darkness of death. The secrets of life, he believes, and the secret to death can be found in the communication with the spirits and the quest to lengthen his lifespan. Thus begins his new journey, thus begins his new goals.

==Combat==

===The Force===
Etah’s most powerful force abilities allow his body to move faster and more intuitively, making him even more deadly of a lightsaber duelist. If he can’t overcome his opponent with just his blade he calls forth the spirits of the dead to attack his opponents (a combination of blinding, affliction and terror). He has an assortment of less powerful force powers to round out his force abilities, most of which are the classical force powers of the Jedi.

===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah has studied lightsaber combat to the exclusion of all other forms of combat, since he was a teenager. He rightfully believes himself to be a master of the blade and it willing to prove it to anyone who doubts him. He doesn’t just wave a tube of light around, or even just stand in a proper guard. Etah utilizes proper body mechanics, has very fast footwork, uses range to his advantage, has a large selection of moves, or shots as he calls them, and fools his opponent with feinted shots combined with rapid combinations of shots.

====Primary Lightsaber Form: Makashi====
A watered down version of Makashi is the form Saber Rakes from the Tapani Sector use to fight each other with lightfoils, so this is the form Etah studied from the time he was a teenager. The Equite believes himself to be the apex of one-on-one lightsaber dueling and enough people have fallen to his blade to make the case for that to be true.

====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Shien====
Freely and quickly switching from the one-on-one dueling of Makashi, to the open style of Shien Etah has taken more than one group by surprise. He does not use the controversial reverse grip style, preferring a guard not dissimilar from Makashi’s, giving the added benefit of confusing his opponents as to which style he is using at the time.

Delta team consisted of [[Vynn Salm|Vynn]], [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sang]], [[Ood Bnar|Ood]], [[Wes Biriuk|Wes]], and [[Kratus Vahillus|Kratus]]

With orders given to the [[Quaestor]] of [[Galeres]] to support the attempts to get bodies aboard the SSD Avenger that hung in orbit over [[Antei]], [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Sanguinius]] commanded the Galerians in his presence to join him in this endeavor: [[Ood Bnar]], the old but mad Neti, [[Vynn Salm]], the former Palatinaean, [[Kratus Vahillus]], the embittered old half cyborg former pirate and [[Wes Biriuk]], the soon to be Sergeant of [[Spectre Cell]].

The group of Dark Jedi rushed to the nearest shuttle, co-opting the pilot to take them up to the Avenger, just another part of the wave of ships approaching the Super Star Destroyer. The terrified pilot was forced at blaster point by Wes to fly straight into the hangar bay, which was filled with enemy combatants.

Before the shuttle had even come to a stop as it skidded along the hangar deck, the door opened and five Dark Jedi leapt out, led by their Quaestor. Lightsabers ignited, the Arconans took to the fore, assaulting the One Sith troopers stationed in the hangar. Their attack allowed the other strike teams from [[Arcona]] to infiltrate the Avenger, as the One Sith concentrated on the Hangar Bay.

===Team Foxtrot===
[[Etah]], Putra, [[Kalon Dane]], Valeriuskane, [[Anduriel]]

{{Quote|”It’s all over but the shooting”|Etah to his team as they breached the Avenger II}}

Arcona Intelligence was concerned that the SSD Avenger II would flee the system and head to areas more secure, effectively marooning all members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood that were aboard. So Etah assembled Team Foxtrot which included core members of the Spectre Cell Battle Team with two reinforcements. Their mission was to take the engine room, disable the engine without destroying it and occupy the engine room until the SSD was pacified.

The team moved about using a type of orthodox military movement called ‘bounding overwatch’ in conjunction with another tactical concept called ‘initiative based tactics’, meaning each person moved as their training dictated with a minimum amount of direction. Etah meticulously prepared his ad hoc team with diagrams, readouts, blueprints, technical specs and walkthroughs. The Equite members of the team, Etah and Putra, used lightsabers and blasters while the junior members of the team used blaster rifles. In the end, they managed to make it to the engine room, but found that the controls had been destroyed and needed to be configured from the bridge itself.

===The Tarentatek's Taskmaster - Avenger II===
:''Main article: [[Avenger II - Arcona|Arcona and the Avenger II]]''

This prologue to the Dark Crusade would prove to be an omen of sorts. As the Leaders of the Brotherhood Clans and Houses made their battle arrangements, Arcona chose to take House Taldryan head on and to further prove their dominance in the last two Great Jedi Wars was not a fluke. Despite valiant efforts and careful planning, things did not go according to plans.

===Almost Easy - Krayiss II===
:''Main article: [[Krayiss II - Arcona|Arcona and the taking of Krayiss II]]''

[[File:TalwinskrayissII.jpg|250px]]

It seemed like the perfect opportunity. Krayiss II was ripe for the picking, and only Taldryan stood between the Shadow Clan and victory. Arcona had overcome such odds before. The once-glorious giant of the Brotherhood was a pale simulacrum of its former glorious self... or so Arcona had believed. When the Clan came into contact with Taldryan, they found a fierce adversary, and in that, they also found their match. Arrogant from their recent victories, they under-estimated just how loud the veterans that filled the House could shout, and subsequently, the Shadow Clan was drowned out...though not by much. And despite the loss, out of the bitter taste of defeat a new paragon of Arcona was born: [[Cethgus Entar]]. For his skill in battle and unquestioning loyalty to Arcona, he was given the mark of the di Tenebrous - made Arconae.

Spectre Cell

2013-03-16T10:47:41Z

Etah Deimos Kilij-Bloodfyre:

{{Quote|“ Arconan shadows take control”| Team Motto, taken from the Hymn of Arcona written and composed by Dalthid}} 
 
Most military units within the Brotherhood want to claim the title of elite, to the point of making the word nearly meaningless. In contrast, Spectre defines itself by quiet competence and versatility. As a team they utilize basic infantry skills and apply those basic infantry skills to a variety of mission profiles. By being a jack of all trades and a master of quite a few, Spectre fills in the gaps in the Arconan Expeditionary Forces ground and boarding capabilities. They spend most of its time in the field, but between missions Spectre Cell resides at Kurs’kranak where they train.

|founded=35 ABY

|era= [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood Era]]
}}

== History ==
After the decommission of [[Battleteam]] [[Revenance Virtuom]], the Summit of [[House Galeres]] spent several weeks deliberating with the Summit of the [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] on whether a new [[Battleteam]] should be opened, which like Revenance Virtuom would function with the Arconan Military, or whether at new Battle Team should have a different kind of relevance to Arcona. In the end decision was reached and the Summit appointed [[Dark Jedi Knight]] [[Celevon Edraven]] with the responsibility of creating a new Battle Team.

Celevon sought to train a group of scouts and snipers to partake in covert operations. He based his ideas off of watching a holovid about the Sith Assassins during the Jedi Civil War Era, which followed the Mandalorian Wars. The young Dark Jedi decided Spectre Cell would operate similarly, but instead of using retractable staves, the members of Spectre Cell would primarily use daggers and rifles.

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] [[Horizons]] there was a shakeup in the Arconan Summit that saw [[Legorii]] retiring as Aedile of the House Galeres and Cethgus Entar replacing him. Spectre member [[Valhavoc]] was promoted to Battle Team Leader and charged with creating a new Battleteam within the House Galeres. Obelisk Prelate Etah d’Tana, a longtime member of Galeres, was given leadership of Spectre Cell.

Etah decided on a different mission profile than Mandalorian type special operations which sounded good on paper but in practice provided little utility and squandered the Dark Jedi’s force abilities on petty fisticuffs. He built on the groundwork that the plank holders of the Spectre Cell had created, but created a more diverse skill-set for Spectre Cell to draw on and implemented systematic training of new Spectre recruits.

Etah led the team through an assault on an Imperial Star Destroyer, the attempted invasion of one planet within the Sith Holy Worlds and the successful invasion of a second planet within the Sith Holy Worlds. Spectre Cell did very well, accounting for a large percentage of the House Galeres kills. Due to personal reasons, Etah had to step down from the leadership of Spectre Cell, but stayed on to train his replacement.

== Training ==
Every new Spectre member is put through twelve weeks of intense military training before they are allowed to join Spectre Cell in the field for real world military operations. This is in the spirit of Spectre Cell’s belief in the importance of the basics. The Sergeant of Spectre Cell or a senior member of Specter cell designated by the sergeant generally instructs the new recruit.

===Blue Phase===
The first six weeks of Spectre Cell training, the Obelisk iteration where new recruits learn military baring, military customs, military drill and ceremony, basic military skills, individual tactical training, tactical movement and marksmanship.

===Purple Phase===
The second phase is three weeks long. The Krath iteration teaches soft skills such as map reading, first aid, how to use communications equipment, troop leading procedures and basic military strategy.

===Red Phase===
The final three week phase of training, the Sith iteration teaches each member how to maximize the efficiency of their basic combat training they learned in the blue phase and soft skills they learned in the purple phase through the use of force skills.

== Mission Profile==
[[File:Spectre_Image_3.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Spectre Cell can apply their core infantry training to achieve mission completion in any reasonably achievable task, but these five mission profiles are what they are most experienced in, what they train for and these five tasks cover a lot of ground.

===Battlefield Control===
Arguably Spectre Cells primary mission type, battlefield control involves distributing all teams around a point of interest. Using their battlefield awareness, long range capabilities and overlapping fields of observation the teams control all action in and around that point of interest.

=== Clearing Missions===
Initiative based tactics, Special Weapons And Tactics, close quarter combat, and room clearing are all different names for what Spectre Cell calls simply clearing missions. It is the breeching and entry of areas in which enemies are thought to control or reside and the control and killing of everone inside that facility.

===Hunter===
In short these missions are assassination missions. Hunter missions can either position units in specific locations to ambush or close with an entity in order to assassinate a specific person or persons.

=== Protection===
Spectre Cell is incredibly skilled in protecting important personnel and facilities from assassination, acts of terror or orthodox military assault.

===Riot===
Riot control is typified by shield walls, drag and stomp baton smashing. It is meant to control large and violent crowds who are not armed.

==Organization ==

Troop 1: Heavy Weapons Emplacement

Troop 4: Sniper Team 
E1 - Troop Leader 
E2 - Troop Assistant Leader 
E3 - Sniper (Infantry NPC) 
E4 - Spotter (Scout NPC) 
 
Spectre Cell is made of four Troops.

Two of the Troops are five man Heavy Weapons Emplacements. This includes the Troop Leader and Assistant Trooper Leader who are both Dark Jedi. The primary focal point of the team is the collapsible F-Web repeating blaster. A Heavy Gunner Acts as the primary gunner, they are assisted by an engineer and the Assistant Troop Leader often operates the shields. A medic rounds out the lineup, to keep the group combat operational and to run a casualty collection point if necessary.

The final two Troops are four man Sniper Teams. This includes the Troop Leader and Assistant Trooper Leader who are both Dark Jedi. The primary focal point of the team is the X-45 Sniper Rifle. An infantryman acts as the Sniper or triggerman while a scout acts as the snipers observer. The team leader designates the snipers targets. The Troop leader and assistant leader act as defenders to the sniper team.

== Gear ==
[[File: Spectre_Cell3.gif |thumb|left|250px]]
====Provisions====
Along with the standard equipment, each member of Spectre is expected to pack some sort of sleeping bag and possibly a tent or shelter half that will protect them from the elements. In addition they are expected to pack foodstuff that will provide a sufficient amount of calories and require a minimum amount of preparation. Other personal effects are optional.

==== Uniform ====
Etah determined that wearing any sort of uniform would limit their mission profiles, so no uniform has been designated. Each mission, ever member of Spectre wears clothing appropriate for their cover. Etah generally wore his Swooper leathers. The only required uniform item is a black bodysuit which helps sweat cool the bodies’ core temp and keeps the bodies heat from exiting the body. A side effect keeps each member from creating a scent or heat signature.

====Weapons====
In addition to the F-Web repeating blaster and the X-45 Sniper Rifle, each person carries those blaster rifles and pistols which they believe are necessary.

== Unit Award: Spectre Dagger ==
[[File: Spectre_Cell22.gif |thumb|right|250px]]

Daggers were originally going to be heavily incorporated into Spectre Cells mission profile, until Etah changed Spectre Cell into a more orthodox military unit. But the Dagger was retained as a Unit Award to members who make significant accomplishments to the unit.

In 36ABY, members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood were deployed to investigate One Sith’s actions, and tasked with scouting the ancient planet. Clan Arcona was first to touch down, lead by Proconsul [[Marick Arconae]]. Team 'Pwncona' was broken into two teams. Marick headed up Alpha Team, consisting of veterans [[xLegorii Kryotek Entar]], [[Kratus Vahillus]], [[Cethgus Entar]], [[xJaek Kaeth]], [[xK'tana]], and the recently-knighted [[xIncendus]].

Quaestor [[Socorra Erinos]] along with her Aedile Valhavoc made up Bravo Team. With them was Dark Jedi Master [[xTroutrooper]], Gatewarden [[xTsainetomo Keibatsu]], and recently-knighted [[Montresor]] and [[xFet'ai'narun]]. The team rounded off with veteran [[Etah d'Tana]].

Cop, [[starwars:swooper|swooper]], leg breaker, [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], [[Obelisk]], [[Equite]], [[Shadesworn]]. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason or definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. The Mirialan’s cold silence belies a burning passion. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_son_of_a_seventh_son Seventh Son of a Seventh Son] (15 BBY-1 ABY/0-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|”I was born the seventh son, of a seventh son. I always knew my lineage carried great power” |Etah to Selene, Circa 24 ABY}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the [[starwars:Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]], Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a [[starwars:Confederacy of Independent Systems|Confederacy]] war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to [[starwars:Darth|Darth]] [[starwars:Revan|Revan]]'s Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fenced competitively. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]] veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (2-5 ABY/18-20 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review, circa 4 ABY}}

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:Imperial Sector Rangers|Imperial Sector Ranger]]'s. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the [[starwars:Empire|Empire]]. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperial service despite his [[starwars:Near human|near-human]] heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the [[starwars:Imperial Training Center|Imperial Training Center]] on nearby [[starwars:Daluuj|Daluuj]].

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_entry dynamic and deliberate entry], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Operations_in_Urban_Terrain military operations in urban terrain]. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at the Sector Ranger skill set.

The Mirialan's Initial Training at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the [[starwars:Albanin sector|Albanin sector]], which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his assignment in the Albanin sector.

During the two and a half year period after his initial training that he served as a rank and file Imperial Sector Ranger Etah was assigned to the Special Weapons and Tactics Division of the Imperial Rangers. As a SWAT Ranger he pursued high risk arrests and protected Imperial VIP’s. In his three years of service, the Mirialan was promoted to sergeant and received five service commendations. His attention to detail, his skills and his courage got him considered for service as a [[starwars:Special Enforcement Officer|Special Enforcement Officer]].

=== Special Enforcement Officer (6-11 ABY/21-26 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Etah isn’t without fear, he simply acts without thought and has the luck of a cat.|Passing comment from a coworker, circa 8 ABY}}

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

Etah was transferred to the Imperial Sector Ranger Office on [[starwars:Myomar|Myomar]] in the [[starwars:Celanon Spur|Celanon Spur]] and was appointed as a Special Enforcement Officer. Etah's job as a Special Enforcement Officer involved routine criminal instigation and apprehension. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue subpoenas and warrants, he could search public and private property, and seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had a limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as a Special Enforcement Officer, Etah personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people, as well as the normal assortment of [[starwars:pirate|pirates]], [[starwars:slavery|slavers]], [[starwars:assassin|assassins]], [[starwars:crime lord|Mob enforcers]], and [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunters.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go under light cover, but his last and most challenging assignment forced him into deep cover. He was sent to expose and dismantle a powerful [[starwars:black market|black market]] centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw [[starwars:Swoop gang|swoop club]] called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the [[starwars:Corporate Sector|Corporate Sector]]. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling [[starwars:spice|spice]] to the Black Market.

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire never really offered him. The Mirialan felt his eight year career as a Law Enforcement Officer had run its course. As the Empire’s grip on the outer rim slipped, Etah took the opportunity to quietly leave the service and erase all information and evidence connected to the Damned possessed by his office, which brought several prosecutions to a halt. For this action Etah was patched in as a full member of the Damned Swoop Club.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/27-37 yrs old)===
{{Quote|”Now you’re rolling with the outlaws policeman, we do $#!t differently”|Club Sergeant-at-Arms to Etah, as a new Patch Holder.}}

[[File:EtahAdult6.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]
Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His primary talent, a holdover from his days as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. He compelled their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterintelligence counterintelligence] role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off [[starwars:Twi'lek|Twi'lek]] slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/38 yrs old)===
{{Quote|”This deal will be mutually beneficial for both of our organizations”|Selene to Etah, circa 23 ABY}}

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the [[Tana Incorporated|Tana Consortium]]. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized a gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching [[starwars:Nar Shadda|Nar Shadda]] at its farthest. At the time this relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. That was to change with their product being distributed throughout the outer rim.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed [[starwars:Force-sensitive|force sensitivity]] within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering laundered] back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi as so voluntarily joined their ranks.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/39 yrs old)===
{{Quote|”Though we are members of the Dark Brotherhood, the Shadow Clan isn’t necessary evil. While the other clans hold only to the darkness, Arcona holds to the various grays within shadows”|Timeros to Etah, circa 24 ABY}}
[[File:EtahAdult5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah not long after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]
Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, [[Proconsul]] of [[Arcona]] at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young [[Guardian]] Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]]. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would subsequently be given the opportunity to serve as [[Aedile]] of the [[House Galeres]].

===Becoming a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_man Made man] and Crying in the Dark (25 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|”I joined the right family, at the wrong time”|Etah in a journal entry, circa 26 ABY}}

After returning from his undercover mission to Eldar and shortly before officially being promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], the [[d'Tana]] family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named [[Rho]], were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men; Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family while being under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, and originally used as a legal front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

===Dark Times (26 ABY/41 yrs old)===
{{Quote|”I felt like I had no Clan”|Etah in a journal entry, circa 27 ABY}}

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as [[Quaestor]] to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short period.

[[File:EtahBiker4.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah contemplating amidst the darkness]]

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|8th Great Jedi War]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Quaestor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Quaestor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediately followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events caused a rift between Etah and much of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY/44 yrs old)===
{{Quote|”He might be the black sheep of this clan, but there is no doubt that this clan is his home”|Timeros to Sashar on why he would want Etah as his Aedile, circa 29 ABY}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Quaestors of both houses, but of whom were thought to be his cronies. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Quaestorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially and a great threat from within the Clan was eliminated.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/45 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt its fleet. It decided the proper time to return to [[Antei]] and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In its place however, was a crackpot [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named [[Omancor Crask]], leading a band of anachronistic [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi's]] that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and their metal golems. [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]] killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reoccupying the system. Upon returning to [[Dajorra]], it was found that the Garconan spice veins were tapped out. With Dajorran planets devoid of spice and the destruction of Coronada Station the d’Tana family made the decision that the future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprenticeship to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elevated to [[Krath Archpriest]]. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Quaestor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order for reasons not publically stated.

Etah's tenure as Quaestor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===Watcher of Arcona (32-34 ABY/47-49 years old)===
{{Quote|”I may not always be within the Dajorra system, but my clan is always in my thoughts”|Etah in a message to Arcona shortly before he returned, circa 34 ABY}}

Following his time as Quaestor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during [[starwars:Vongforming|Vongforming]] of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to [[starwars:Kessel|Kessel]], located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its scary [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] from [[Sith]] Incursion.

[[File:EtahAdult1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah celebrating Arcona's victory]]

===A Legacy of Excellence (35 ABY/50 yrs old)===
{{Quote|After we won the last Great Jedi War I announced to the House Galeres, that we had witnessed the Twilight of Taldryan Dominance and the Dawn of Arconan Supremacy. Moving forward, we have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence|Etah in a communiqué to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the family’s finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication; a call to invade [[New Tython]] came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in pre-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reinforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.

Over the last several years Etah had watched the Erinos family under Sashar’s careful control, come to dominate the Clan Arcona. This had been pattern had been interrupted by the placement of the new Consul, Wuntila Entar and the rise of Galeres Quaestor Sanguinus Entar, setting both of these families on a collision course, with Etah’s d’Tana Family trapped squarely in the middle.

In response to a possible civil war brought on by the Erinos Family, Etah went off the reservation and attempted to assassinate [[Teroch Erinos]] and brought his family members and the families allies and associates with him. Despite his determination Etah was unsuccessful at his task and Wuntila sent Etah’s mentor Timeros Entar to rein him in, which he was able to do so successfully.

===Great Trials on the Horizon (36 ABY/50 yrs old)===
{{Quote|”I have seen a great many things since becoming a Dark Jedi and I guess I thought I had seen the width and breadth of what could be seen. Boy I was in for one hell of a surprise“|Etah to Anduriel, circa 36 ABY}}

Arcona had found an active pirate Space Port located just outside of the Dajorran system. They spent the next several years, silently gaining control of the station, slowly turning it into a carefully constructed front. But after all that hard work on the part of House Qel-Droma, Arconan forces and safehouses across the station were suddenly overrun. It seemed that someone, at the very least, knew that an outside entity had taken control of the station.

Though Port Ol’val is a Qel-Droman asset, the Consul, Wuntila Entar, deemed the action a threat to the entire Clan. So Etah was assigned to a three-man team along with [[Legorii Kryotek]] Entar and [[Celevon Edraven]] and given an assignment. Though Celevon was largely absent, Etah and Legorii managed to get a lot of tasks accomplished. Underneath it all, this was a test of the members of Arcona, a Trial of Loyalty, so that Consul [[Wuntila]] Entar Arconae and Proconsul [[Marick Arconae]] new who they could trust.

Not long after, Etah travelled to the [[Shadow Academy]] to receive his Dark Sage Law degree, everything went wonky. As the journeymen of the Brotherhood lost their abilities and began to transform into mindless automatons, Etah allied with Alaris Jinn di Plagia. Together they opposed [[Headmaster]] [[Ronovi Tavisaen]] and her Praetor [[Solus Gar]] as they attempted to destroy the Shadow Academy to keep the Horizons plague from spreading. Ignoring the obvious fact that virus had already spread beyond the walls of the Academy.

Before the Academy was destroyed the Dark Council had found a cure for the Horizons virus. Etah shook hands with Alaris and left the Shadow Academy at the earliest opportunity. But all was not well. Etah at the helm of [[Spectre Cell]] traveled to the [[Jusadih System]] and led his team in clearing the Bridge of a House Plagueis Capital ship of the mercenaries that the late Darth Zoraan had led into Brotherhood space. After securing the Plagueis ship the Obelisk Prelate led his team down to the surface of the planet Kapsina for more action.

Not long after assisting the House Plagueis Etah lead Spectre Cell in an assault on a large Capital Ship at the very beginning of what would come to be called the Dark Crusade.

==Appearance==
[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]][[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]
Etah stands at just over six foot tall. Though his shoulders appear broad and his chest seems wide, he has a much more athletic figure than you would first imagine a trait of his rather lithe species. He has repeating geometric patterns down both cheeks, a trait of his species culture. Each small diamond inscribed on his face marks a kill. His mustache, beard and long hair, along with his demeanor and manner of dress, give the impression that he is something of a brute.

===Leathers===
Etah generally wears his swoop riding leathers for all but formal occasions. The outfit includes leather boots, leather chaps, a leather vest with a variety of patches, a leather jacket, jeans and a tee-shirt. He likes the look and feel of the leathers and he enjoys the outfits’ connection to swoop culture and its inherent violence, which has the side affect of intimidation. The leathers are also functional; keeping the repulsorlift engine of the hot swoop from burning the skin of his legs and keeping his skin intact should he crash his swoop and skid along the cement.

===Robes===
Etah only wears Robes during formal Clan events. He has been known to wear the formal Shadesworn Robes and robes known as Dervish, which are what he has referred to as a sluff coat. While out on operations he wears a new kind of heavy armor called Brutal.

==Psychological Profile==
Etah’s main physiological motivation is respect. Like any swooper, respect is the currency that he trades in. An underlying psychosis for Etah is an reasonable stubbornness. He will rebel against all forms of leadership that don’t respect him on some level. He will call out and confront those he considers equals that don’t show him respect. Those whom he considers below his station, disrespect will be met with contempt and possibly violence.

==Combat==
Etah resorts to hand to hand fighting only when necessary. Other times he will go to either his lightsaber or a blaster rifle depending on the setting and circumstances. With a blaster rifle, he moves smart and effectively, defaulting to initiative based military operations in urban terrain just as he was trained to as an Imperial Sector Ranger. As a lightsaber fencer he is essentially a classical defensively focused lightsaber fencer.

===The Force===
The Obelisk Prelate is not strong in the force, as it were. The majority of his force skills are journeyman level skills that won’t drain his force reserves. For the most part, he uses the force to augment his superior physical skills.

====Aggressive Negotiations====
While engaged in combat Etah will begin using the force abilities Malacia, Slow, Fear and Stun. He will apply them multiple times throughout the fight, as his force reserves will allow. Eventually they will start to take a toll on his opponent and the four abilities combine and pile up, making the target slower, less accurate, dizzy and confused.

====Force Wraiths====
Etah only has the journeyman level ability of force wraith, which means he can only summon one force wraith. But his force wraith is more powerful and can aid him much longer than a journeyman’s force wraith. The Prelates specific wraith is essentially a smoke demon. Etah’s Smoke Demon tends to use the force ability Fear to distract his opponents, much like its namesake.

===Hand-to-Hand Combat: Dulon===
Unlike most Dark Jedi, Etah has mastered only one hand to hand form. The primary reason for this is the Obelisk Prelates dedication to learning the art of [[Dulon]]. He has focused so much on his speed and endurance is because his opponent’s strength can often be used against them. He is swift and graceful because he would rather be out of his opponent’s way and ready to deliver the next blow, then to physically block their attacks.

===Lightsaber Combat===
Most Dark Jedi of equal rank and a few of lesser rank are stronger than Etah. Nearly every Equite he fights will have access to more and more powerful force powers than he does so the Mirialan uses his expert lightsaber Lightsaber as an equalizer. His amazing speed and the sheer destructiveness forces even [[Elders ]] to fight him on his terms.

====Primary Lightsaber Form: Soresu====
Etah masters his lightsaber wielding opponents by having a perfect defense along with great economy of movement. He could move farther and quicker, but his defensive axis doesn’t require him to. His saber defends him faster than his opponent can attack and his opponents expend great amounts of energy trying and failing to crack open or get around those defenses. Once they tire, they will make and mistake and it may very well be their last.

====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Makashi ====
The gentlemanly art of fencing isn’t quite gentlemanly and can skewer even the most skilled of opponents. Unlike other lightsaber forms, Makashi is unconcerned with saber fire or acrobatics. Form two focuses solely on the art and science of swordplay. Etah utilizes his great though less than masterful knowledge of this form to enhance his lightsaber styles defensive potential and relies on it exclusively actually when attacking his enemy.

====Stutter Strikes====
One of Etah’s favorite things to do in lightsaber combat is what he terms stutter strikes. The Obelisk Prelate begins a slash or a stab, and at some point in the middle he uses Enhance Ability or Burst of Speed to deliver the blow much faster. This ensures his opponents block will not be in the proper location and the strike will deliver true. He also does the opposite, where he begins with a very fast shot and half way through, slows the shot down considerably. That will force his opponent to overcorrect and they not be able to properly block his strike, allowing him to strike his target.

== History ==
After the decommission of [[Battleteam]] [[Revenance Virtuom]], the Summit of [[House Galeres]] spent several weeks deliberating with the High Summit of the [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] on whether a new [[Battleteam]] should be opened, which like Revenance Virtuom would function with the Arconan Military, or whether at new Battle Team should have a different kind of relevance to Arcona. In the end decision was reached and the Summit appointed [[Dark Jedi Knight]] [[Celevon Edraven]] with the responsibility of creating a new Battle Team.

Celevon sought to train a group of scouts and snipers to partake in Covert Operations. He based his ideas off of watching a holovid about the Sith Assassins during the Jedi Civil War Era, which followed the Mandalorian Wars. The young Dark Jedi decided Spectre Cell would operate similarly, but instead of using retractable staves, the members of Spectre Cell would primarily use daggers and rifles.

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] [[Horizons]] there was a shakeup in the Arconan Summit that saw [[Legorii]] retiring as Aedile of the House Galeres and Cethgus Entar replacing him. Spectre member [[Valhavoc]] was promoted to Battle Team Leader and charged with creating a new Battleteam within the House Galeres. Obelisk Prelate Etah d’Tana, a longtime member of Galeres, was given leadership of Spectre Cell.

Etah decided on a different mission set than Mandalorian type special operations, which sounded good on paper but in practice provided little utility and squandered the Dark Jedi’s force abilities in petty fisticuffs. Instead, Etah decided that what Galeres and the Arconan Army Corps needed most on the battlefield was effective, real time reconnaissance and call for fire.

== Training ==
There is no formal entry level training in the manner of a Special Forces pipeline, because Spectre Cell only recruits those with infantry and special operations backgrounds, luckily there is no shortage of that particular skill set in the Clan Arcona. Spectre Cell does however train relentlessly, both at Kurs’kranak and in the field. Etah drills the Cell on infiltrating the planet of interest, moving to the target, occupying the area of operations, equipment set up, scanning and communication, equipment breakdown, exfiltration and worst case scenarios.

== Mission Profile and Organization ==
Etah and the Summit of the House Galeres decided that Spectre should be retooled for real time battlefield reconnaissance. Special Operations, they decided, can be performed by skilled non-force sensitives nearly as well as Dark Jedi. True covert operations however would greatly benefit from the variety of force powers possessed by Dark Jedi, both in the approach and the exit. Several force powers can aid the Stealth Unit in approaching the Area of Operations and if the tandem is attacked by enemy forces they can use force powers to survive, evade and escape.

Spectre Cell operates out of the Clan Arcona’s Lambda Class T4 Shuttle. Spectre spends most of its time in the field, but between missions Spectre Cell resides at Kurs’kranak where they train. Spectre Cell is made of multiple tandem pairs, which include an experienced member and a less experienced member, are all organized by a Principle tandem which includes the Spectre Commander.

[[File:Spectre_Image_2.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Each tandem pair is expected to carry the appropriate equipment to the area of interest, between the two of them. Both members of the tandem work together for setup and break down, all other times the two work in a work rest pattern. If the teams are attacked, the tandems will pretend to try to destroy the equipment, but in reality, the only information that would still be present in the machines is whatever the Spectre Commander wants the enemy to see.

Spectre Cell has a number of different mission types. The primary consideration is whether the target planet is a populated planet with a civilian space port. The secondary consideration is whether this is a general planetary recon or the spearhead of military action. The tertiary consideration is whether the Tandem pairs will be sent to cover the same place at different angles, or whether each team will set up in a different area.

In the case of a target planet with a civilian space port, Spectre Cell lands with a set of cover and parks in the spaceport and each tandem pair separates and moves toward their assigned area of interest. If there is no civilian presence on the planet or accessible space port, the Lambda T4 Shuttle will land the teams in a central area, near their points of interest. This has the liability of an increased chance of possible detection.

[[File:Spectre_Image_3.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

In a general reconnaissance, Spectre Cell lands, moves toward their point of interest, set ups, scans, communicates, breaks down and the Spectre Commander will write the intelligence reports on the ship ride back to Arconan space. When spearheading a military assault, the teams emplace themselves, and stay in place to facilitate battlefield communication and to identify targets of opportunity for Naval, air and artillery assets. Spectre Commander would write on the spot intelligence reports for the Arcona Summits consumption. The intelligence reports that can be published by Spectre Cell include troop numbers, enemy locations, enemy armament, possible armament, priority targets, terrain analysis and tactical advice.

The tandem pairs of Spectre Cell can be deployed individually or the tandem pairs can be deployed to the same location. When deployed individually, the Spectre Cell tandem pairs are less likely to be detected and can cover a wider area. But scattered about, the pairs are less organized and their information is less reliable. Deployed around the same target location, organization is much stronger, and each team would have overlapping fields of observation, making their information more reliable. The latter deployment is advisable for call for fire missions. Deployed individually, each team would identify targets. Deployed collectively the Spectre Commander would identify priority targets based on information gathered by all the teams.

== Gear ==
====Provisions====
Along with the standard equipment, each member of Spectre is expected to pack some sort of sleeping bag and possibly a tent or shelter half that will protect them from the elements. In addition they are expected to pack foodstuff that will provide a sufficient amount of calories and require a minimum amount of preparation. Other personal effects are optional.

==== Uniform ====
Since direct action would indicate mission failure, Etah determined that wearing heavy armor would be a detriment to their mission profile as would wearing any sort of uniform. So each member of Spectre wears clothing appropriate for their cover. Etah generally wears his Swooper leathers.

====Weapons====
Since their primary mission is not direct action, their armament is for self-defense only. Etah generally carries his personal weapons: a DL-44 Heavy Blaster pistol and an EE-3 Carbine. The rest of Spectre is expected to equip themselves similarly for self-defense.

===Equipment===
The equipment described below is uniform for every tandem pair. Each piece is divvied up between the two members of the tandem to carry from their point of entry to their point of interest.

====Shadesworn Ruggedized Datapad====
The Datapad has two user levels, director and operator. The director user level is for the Spectre Commander and can slice, and has additional communication options in addition to the operator level functions. The operator user level is for the regular tandem pairs and can receive and process information from the Multi-Optics Communication Device and the Stealth Scanner and communicate with other tandem pairs and other Arcona assets. The datapad weighs about two pounds and is about thirty inches squared. There is one datapad per tandem.

==== Shadesworn Multi-Optics Communication Device====
The Multi-Optics Communication Device is a revolutionary piece of technology that provides a verity of different functions. The devices optics functions allow the user to see in low light conditions, to see in the ultraviolet range, allows for heat vision and to magnify their vision. The device can record what it sees and can message both videos and text generated messages to other Device users and any team Datapads. This device is designed to be manipulated by the force rather than physical controls. It weighs less than a pound and extends out roughly nine inches. Every member of Spectre Cell wears these devices.

==== Shadesworn Multi-Tool====
The multi-tool is similar to tools that can be found in any Army, anywhere in the galaxy. The tool is made from a metal alloy, it has a sharp edge and it is used primarily to dig fighting positions. The alloy is made from the same metal the solar panels are, and as such does not disrupt the stealth field the tandem operates within. The tool is about three feet in length when fully extended. They fold up, to be quite small and so most teams bring one for each member to assist in the set up of the Observation Point.

==== Shadesworn Solar Panel====
The shadesworn solar panel is used for extended operations, to provide continuous energy. Though the cord is 30 feet long and the panel generally sits outside of the stealth field, the panel is made from an alloy that makes most forms of detection difficult if not impossible. The solar panel is about three feet, by two feet and weighs less than a pound. The team only brings a solar panel if it is thought necessary, and when brought they only need one per team.

==== Shadesworn Stealth Scanner====
The Stealth Scanner really is the star of the show. It breaks down into three parts, which are the lens, the tripod and the processor. The datapad connects straight into the scanner. It is a powerful industrial strength scanner and can operate in both active and passive modes. Passive mode is impossible to detect, but isn’t a very detailed scan. Active scans are very detailed, but do provide a momentary blip on detection equipment, if the region that tandem is in is specifically being monitored. Furthermore, the scanner acts like a shotgun transceiver, sending messages and reports with a hard to detect ferocity. The scanner stands about four feet high and has a profile about two feet wide. There is only one Stealth Scanner per team.

==== Shadesworn Stealth Unit ====
The stealth unit is key to Spectre units’ success in remaining hidden. It creates a stealth field that is able to manipulate different kinds of waves and fields, including light, sound, and magnetic to keep whatever is within the stealth field totally hidden from view and detection. It can also raise and lower emoting temperatures in order to match its surroundings. The Stealth Unit can function at 50% when the wearer is moving, but keeps the wearer nearly 100% undetectable and invisible when not moving. Two devices combine to create an even more effective, overlapping stealth field. The device weighs about a pound and it’s about two feet by one foot. Each team member carries one.

== Award(s) ==

===Spectre Beret and Unit Patch===
[[File:Spectre_Image_4.jpg|left|125px]]
The blue beret is issued to members upon entry into Spectre. It can be worn with the formal Arconan Army Corps uniform while assigned to Spectre Cell. The unit patch is identical to the combat patch and can be worn on the left shoulder while assigned to Spectre Cell.

===Spectre Cord===
The Spectre Cord a blue uniform cord worn around the right shoulder which is issued to members upon entry into Spectre. It can be worn with the formal Arconan Army Corps uniform for the rest of the recipients’ Arconan military career.

Recipients:
Etah d’Tana

[[File:Spectre_Image_6.jpg|right|125px]]
===Spectre Combat Patch===
The Spectre Cell Combat patch is given to those members of Spectre Cell who have served through a period of combat. The patch can be worn on their right shoulder for the rest of their career.

===Spectre Valor Cord===
The valor cord is white uniform cord that is worn over the right breast pocket and is awarded for acts of valor in the face of the enemy, while in the performance of assigned duties. It can be worn with the formal Arconan Army Corps uniform for the rest of the recipients’ Arconan military career.

[[File:Spectre_Image_8.jpg|left|250px]]
=== Spectre Wings ===
The Spectre Wings are given only to the most respected members of Spectre. It is awarded for long time service, in multiple campaigns. It can be worn with the formal Arconan Army Corps uniform for the rest of the recipients’ Arconan military career.

==Out of Character==
The outline of the craft in the Specre Insignia is of the AC-130H Spectre Gunship which US Air Force Special Forces use in call for fire missions.

== History ==
After the decommission of [[Battleteam]] [[Revenance Virtuom]], the Summit of [[House Galeres]] spent several weeks deliberating with the High Summit of the [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] on whether a new [[Battleteam]] should be opened, which like Revenance Virtuom would function with the Arconan Military, or whether at new Battle Team should have a different kind of relevance to Arcona. In the end decision was reached and the Summit appointed [[Dark Jedi Knight]] [[Celevon Edraven]] with the responsibility of creating a new Battle Team.

Celevon sought to train a group of scouts and snipers to partake in Covert Operations.

It is a powerful industrial strength scanner and can operate in both active and passive modes. Passive mode is impossible to detect, but isn’t a very detailed scan. Active scans are very detailed, but do provide a momentary blip on detection equipment, if the region that tandem is in is specifically being monitored. Furthermore, the scanner acts like a shotgun transceiver, sending messages and reports with a hard to detect ferocity. The scanner stands about four feet high and has a profile about two feet wide. There is only one Stealth Scanner per team.

==== Shadesworn Stealth Unit ====
The stealth unit is key to Spectre units’ success in remaining hidden. It creates a stealth field that is able to manipulate different kinds of waves and fields, including light, sound, and magnetic to keep whatever is within the stealth field totally hidden from view and detection. It can also raise and lower emoting temperatures in order to match its surroundings. The Stealth Unit can function at 50% when the wearer is moving, but keeps the wearer nearly 100% undetectable and invisible when not moving. Two devices combine to create an even more effective, overlapping stealth field. The device weighs about a pound and it’s about two feet by one foot. Each team member carries one.

“Spectre Cell is not a group for heroes. We do not valiantly charge at the enemy no matter the odds. We avoid fighting, so that our presence may remain undetected, so that we can do our job. Our job is to cover Arcona’s ass, to make sure they know what they are up against and to identify priority targets. If you want to shoot bad guys, I suggest you go elsewhere.” - Etah to the first group of recruits under his command.

}}

== History ==
After the decommission of [[Battleteam]] [[Revenance Virtuom]], the Summit of [[House Galeres]] spent several weeks deliberating with the High Summit of the [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] on whether a new [[Battleteam]] should be opened, which like Revenance Virtuom would function with the Arconan Military, or whether at new Battle Team should have a different kind of relevance to Arcona. In the end decision was reached and the Summit appointed [[Dark Jedi Knight]] [[Celevon Edraven]] with the responsibility of creating a new Battle Team.

Celevon sought to train a group of scouts and snipers to partake in Covert Operations. He based his ideas off of watching a holovid about the Sith Assassins during the Jedi Civil War Era, which followed the Mandalorian Wars. The young Dark Jedi decided Spectre Cell would operate similarly, but instead of using retractable staves, the members of Spectre Cell would primarily use daggers and rifles.

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] [[Horizons]] there was a shakeup in the Arconan Summit that saw [[Legorii]] retiring as Aedile of the House Galeres and Cethgus Entar replacing him. Spectre member [[Valhavoc]] was promoted to Battle Team Leader and charged with creating a new Battleteam within the House Galeres. Obelisk Prelate Etah d’Tana, a longtime member of Galeres, was given leadership of Spectre Cell.

Etah decided on a different mission set than Mandalorian type special operations, which sounded good on paper but in practice provided little utility and squandered the Dark Jedi’s force abilities in petty fisticuffs. Instead, Etah decided that what Galeres and the Arconan Army Corps needed most on the battlefield was effective, real time reconnaissance and call for fire.

== Training ==
There is no formal entry level training in the manner of a Special Forces pipeline, because Spectre Cell only recruits those with infantry and special operations backgrounds, luckily there is no shortage of that particular skill set in the Clan Arcona. Spectre Cell does however train relentlessly, both at Kurs’kranak and in the field. Etah drills the Cell on infiltrating the planet of interest, moving to the target, occupying the area of operations, equipment set up, scanning and communication, equipment breakdown, exfiltration and worst case scenarios.

== Mission Profile and Organization ==
Etah and the Summit of the House Galeres decided that Spectre should be retooled for real time battlefield reconnaissance. Special Operations, they decided, can be performed by skilled non-force sensitives nearly as well as Dark Jedi. True covert operations however would greatly benefit from the variety of force powers possessed by Dark Jedi, both in the approach and the exit. Several force powers can aid the Stealth Unit in approaching the Area of Operations and if the tandem is attacked by enemy forces they can use force powers to survive, evade and escape.

Spectre Cell operates out of the Clan Arcona’s Lambda Class T4 Shuttle. Spectre spends most of its time in the field, but between missions Spectre Cell resides at Kurs’kranak where they train. Spectre Cell is made of multiple tandem pairs, which include an experienced member and a less experienced member, are all organized by a Principle tandem which includes the Spectre Commander.

[[File:Spectre_Image_2.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Each tandem pair is expected to carry the appropriate equipment to the area of interest, between the two of them. Both members of the tandem work together for setup and break down, all other times the two work in a work rest pattern. If the teams are attacked, the tandems will pretend to try to destroy the equipment, but in reality, the only information that would still be present in the machines is whatever the Spectre Commander wants the enemy to see.

Spectre Cell has a number of different mission types. The primary consideration is whether the target planet is a populated planet with a civilian space port. The secondary consideration is whether this is a general planetary recon or the spearhead of military action. The tertiary consideration is whether the Tandem pairs will be sent to cover the same place at different angles, or whether each team will set up in a different area.

In the case of a target planet with a civilian space port, Spectre Cell lands with a set of cover and parks in the spaceport and each tandem pair separates and moves toward their assigned area of interest. If there is no civilian presence on the planet or accessible space port, the Lambda T4 Shuttle will land the teams in a central area, near their points of interest. This has the liability of an increased chance of possible detection.

In a general reconnaissance, Spectre Cell lands, moves toward their point of interest, set ups, scans, communicates, breaks down and the Spectre Commander will write the intelligence reports on the ship ride back to Arconan space. When spearheading a military assault, the teams emplace themselves, and stay in place to facilitate battlefield communication and to identify targets of opportunity for Naval, air and artillery assets. Spectre Commander would write on the spot intelligence reports for the Arcona Summits consumption. The intelligence reports that can be published by Spectre Cell include troop numbers, enemy locations, enemy armament, possible armament, priority targets, terrain analysis and tactical advice.

[[File:Spectre_Image_3.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

The tandem pairs of Spectre Cell can be deployed individually or the tandem pairs can be deployed to the same location. When deployed individually, the Spectre Cell tandem pairs are less likely to be detected and can cover a wider area. But scattered about, the pairs are less organized and their information is less reliable. Deployed around the same target location, organization is much stronger, and each team would have overlapping fields of observation, making their information more reliable. The latter deployment is advisable for call for fire missions. Deployed individually, each team would identify targets. Deployed collectively the Spectre Commander would identify priority targets based on information gathered by all the teams.

== Gear ==
====Provisions====
Along with the standard equipment, each member of Spectre is expected to pack some sort of sleeping bag and possibly a tent or shelter half that will protect them from the elements. In addition they are expected to pack foodstuff that will provide a sufficient amount of calories and require a minimum amount of preparation. Other personal effects are optional.

==== Uniform ====
Since direct action would indicate mission failure, Etah determined that wearing heavy armor would be a detriment to their mission profile as would wearing any sort of uniform. So each member of Spectre wears clothing appropriate for their cover. Etah generally wears his Swooper leathers.

====Weapons====
Since their primary mission is not direct action, their armament is for self-defense only. Etah generally carries his personal weapons: a DL-44 Heavy Blaster pistol and an EE-3 Carbine. The rest of Spectre is expected to equip themselves similarly for self-defense.

===Equipment===
The equipment described below is uniform for every tandem pair. Each piece is divvied up between the two members of the tandem to carry from their point of entry to their point of interest.

====Shadesworn Ruggedized Datapad====
The Datapad has two user levels, director and operator. The director user level is for the Spectre Commander and can slice, and has additional communication options in addition to the operator level functions. The operator user level is for the regular tandem pairs and can receive and process information from the Multi-Optics Communication Device and the Stealth Scanner and communicate with other tandem pairs and other Arcona assets. The datapad weighs about two pounds and is about thirty inches squared. There is one datapad per tandem.

==== Shadesworn Multi-Optics Communication Device====
The Multi-Optics Communication Device is a revolutionary piece of technology that provides a verity of different functions. The devices optics functions allow the user to see in low light conditions, to see in the ultraviolet range, allows for heat vision and to magnify their vision. The device can record what it sees and can message both videos and text generated messages to other Device users and any team Datapads. This device is designed to be manipulated by the force rather than physical controls. It weighs less than a pound and extends out roughly nine inches. Every member of Spectre Cell wears these devices.

==== Shadesworn Multi-Tool====
The multi-tool is similar to tools that can be found in any Army, anywhere in the galaxy. The tool is made from a metal alloy, it has a sharp edge and it is used primarily to dig fighting positions. The alloy is made from the same metal the solar panels are, and as such does not disrupt the stealth field the tandem operates within. The tool is about three feet in length when fully extended. They fold up, to be quite small and so most teams bring one for each member to assist in the set up of the Observation Point.

==== Shadesworn Solar Panel====
The shadesworn solar panel is used for extended operations, to provide continuous energy. Though the cord is 30 feet long and the panel generally sits outside of the stealth field, the panel is made from an alloy that makes most forms of detection difficult if not impossible. The solar panel is about three feet, by two feet and weighs less than a pound. The team only brings a solar panel if it is thought necessary, and when brought they only need one per team.

==== Shadesworn Stealth Scanner====
The Stealth Scanner really is the star of the show. It breaks down into three parts, which are the lens, the tripod and the processor. The datapad connects straight into the scanner. It is a powerful industrial strength scanner and can operate in both active and passive modes. Passive mode is impossible to detect, but isn’t a very detailed scan. Active scans are very detailed, but do provide a momentary blip on detection equipment, if the region that tandem is in is specifically being monitored. Furthermore, the scanner acts like a shotgun transceiver, sending messages and reports with a hard to detect ferocity. The scanner stands about four feet high and has a profile about two feet wide.

Spectre Commander would write on the spot intelligence reports for the Arcona Summits consumption. The intelligence reports that can be published by Spectre Cell include troop numbers, enemy locations, enemy armament, possible armament, priority targets, terrain analysis and tactical advice.

The tandem pairs of Spectre Cell can be deployed individually or the tandem pairs can be deployed to the same location. When deployed individually, the Spectre Cell tandem pairs are less likely to be detected and can cover a wider area. But scattered about, the pairs are less organized and their information is less reliable. Deployed around the same target location, organization is much stronger, and each team would have overlapping fields of observation, making their information more reliable. The latter deployment is advisable for call for fire missions. Deployed individually, each team would identify targets. Deployed collectively the Spectre Commander would identify priority targets based on information gathered by all the teams.

== Gear ==
====Provisions====
Along with the standard equipment, each member of Spectre is expected to pack some sort of sleeping bag and possibly a tent or shelter half that will protect them from the elements. In addition they are expected to pack foodstuff that will provide a sufficient amount of calories and require a minimum amount of preparation. Other personal effects are optional.

==== Uniform ====
Since direct action would indicate mission failure, Etah determined that wearing heavy armor would be a detriment to their mission profile as would wearing any sort of uniform. So each member of Spectre wears clothing appropriate for their cover. Etah generally wears his Swooper leathers.

====Weapons====
Since their primary mission is not direct action, their armament is for self-defense only. Etah generally carries his personal weapons: a DL-44 Heavy Blaster pistol and an EE-3 Carbine. The rest of Spectre is expected to equip themselves similarly for self-defense.

===Equipment===
The equipment described below is uniform for every tandem pair. Each piece is divvied up between the two members of the tandem to carry from their point of entry to their point of interest.

====Shadesworn Ruggedized Datapad====
The Datapad has two user levels, director and operator. The director user level is for the Spectre Commander and can slice, and has additional communication options in addition to the operator level functions. The operator user level is for the regular tandem pairs and can receive and process information from the Multi-Optics Communication Device and the Stealth Scanner and communicate with other tandem pairs and other Arcona assets. The datapad weighs about two pounds and is about thirty inches squared. There is one datapad per tandem.

==== Shadesworn Multi-Optics Communication Device====
The Multi-Optics Communication Device is a revolutionary piece of technology that provides a verity of different functions. The devices optics functions allow the user to see in low light conditions, to see in the ultraviolet range, allows for heat vision and to magnify their vision. The device can record what it sees and can message both videos and text generated messages to other Device users and any team Datapads. This device is designed to be manipulated by the force rather than physical controls. It weighs less than a pound and extends out roughly nine inches. Every member of Spectre Cell wears these devices.

==== Shadesworn Multi-Tool====
The multi-tool is similar to tools that can be found in any Army, anywhere in the galaxy. The tool is made from a metal alloy, it has a sharp edge and it is used primarily to dig fighting positions. The alloy is made from the same metal the solar panels are, and as such does not disrupt the stealth field the tandem operates within. The tool is about three feet in length when fully extended. They fold up, to be quite small and so most teams bring one for each member to assist in the set up of the Observation Point.

==== Shadesworn Solar Panel====
The shadesworn solar panel is used for extended operations, to provide continuous energy. Though the cord is 30 feet long and the panel generally sits outside of the stealth field, the panel is made from an alloy that makes most forms of detection difficult if not impossible. The solar panel is about three feet, by two feet and weighs less than a pound. The team only brings a solar panel if it is thought necessary, and when brought they only need one per team.

==== Shadesworn Stealth Scanner====
The Stealth Scanner really is the star of the show. It breaks down into three parts, which are the lens, the tripod and the processor. The datapad connects straight into the scanner. It is a powerful industrial strength scanner and can operate in both active and passive modes. Passive mode is impossible to detect, but isn’t a very detailed scan. Active scans are very detailed, but do provide a momentary blip on detection equipment, if the region that tandem is in is specifically being monitored. Furthermore, the scanner acts like a shotgun transceiver, sending messages and reports with a hard to detect ferocity. The scanner stands about four feet high and has a profile about two feet wide. There is only one Stealth Scanner per team.

==== Shadesworn Stealth Unit ====
The stealth unit is key to Spectre units’ success in remaining hidden. It creates a stealth field that is able to manipulate different kinds of waves and fields, including light, sound, and magnetic to keep whatever is within the stealth field totally hidden from view and detection. It can also raise and lower emoting temperatures in order to match its surroundings. The Stealth Unit can function at 50% when the wearer is moving, but keeps the wearer nearly 100% undetectable and invisible when not moving. Two devices combine to create an even more effective, overlapping stealth field. The device weighs about a pound and it’s about two feet by one foot. Each team member carries one.

== Award(s) ==

===Spectre Beret and Unit Patch===

The blue beret is issued to members upon entry into Spectre. It can be worn with the formal Arconan Army Corps uniform while assigned to Spectre Cell. The unit patch is identical to the combat patch and can be worn on the left shoulder while assigned to Spectre Cell.

===Spectre Cord===

The Spectre Cord is issued to members upon entry into Spectre. It can be worn with the formal Arconan Army Corps uniform for the rest of the recipients’ Arconan military career.

Recipients:
Etah d’Tana

===Spectre Combat Patch===

The Spectre Cell Combat patch is given to those members of Spectre Cell who have served through a period of combat. The patch can be worn on their right shoulder for the rest of their career.

===Spectre Valor Cord===

The valor cord is awarded for acts of valor in the face of the enemy, while in the performance of assigned duties. It can be worn with the formal Arconan Army Corps uniform for the rest of the recipients’ Arconan military career.

=== Spectre Wings ===

The Spectre Wings are given only to the most respected members of Spectre. It is awarded for long time service, in multiple campaigns. It can be worn with the formal Arconan Army Corps uniform for the rest of the recipients’ Arconan military career.

==Out of Character==
The outline of the craft in the Specre Insignia is of the AC-130H Spectre Gunship which US Air Force Special Forces use in call for fire missions.

'''Horizons''' was a Brotherhood wide [[Rite of Supremacy]] which occurred in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#36 ABY|36 ABY]] and involved the seven [[Clan]]s and [[House]]s of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]]. In this conflict The Clouses of the Brotherhood dealt with the unknown contagion known only as “Horizon”. As the Vendetta escalated rapidly, the assembled Brotherhood found themselves pitted against the former [[Grand Master]] [[Zoraan]] who sought revenge against the Brotherhood for perceived wrongs from long ago.

== Plot ==
[[File:Anthony_Warne.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Journeymen Riot at the gates]]
Before the outbreak of Horizon virus, a number of unusually talented journeymen had entered the ranks of the various Clouses after having come through the [[Shadow Academy]]. These journeymen showed an exemplary connection to the force and were performing feats well above and beyond their supposed ability sets. Examples included two [[Dark Jedi Knight|Knights]] holding off two of [[Arcona]]’s finest fighters. It would later be determined that these were the first of the infected.

Soon, though, these powerful journeymen were inexplicably cut off from the force entirely, though their physical prowess grew even more. Stripped of the power they had begun to love, many of them decided that it was the Equites and Elders that took it from them out of greed and jealousy. It soon became apparent that they began to crave the force, drawing comparisons to old holo adventures of vampires seeking blood and zombies seeking brains.

Journeymen began to form into mobs. With what they felt was justifiable rage and metaphorical pitch forks, journeymen all around the Brotherhood began to slaughter those whom they regarded as having stole their powers. Equites and Elders could hold them off at first, but the journeyman had numbers and ever surging physical abilities. By the time Equites became affected every Clan and House in the Brotherhood was in the middle of a full rebellion.

The Equites and Elders of the Brotherhood weren’t as concerned with the Horizons virus taking all of the Brotherhoods journeymen, because the journeymen were to some extent thought of as weak and replaceable. But at stage two of the virus when Equites began to lose their connection to the force, even elders began to panic. By the time stage three of the virus had set in, some Dark Adepts even reported feeling their connection to the force strained or weakened.

[[File:Kellik_M_Iskandar.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Zoraan's invasion force]]

Just as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood reached its breaking point, things went from bad a worse. An invasion fleet, with large, powerful and numerous vessels invaded nearly every Dark Brotherhood star system simultaneously. Undermanned due to the plague and under pressure from the riots and full scale insurrections, nearly every Brotherhood fleet was simply overwhelmed. It was then revealed that Grand Master Archibald Zoraan was behind the events of Horizon. Some of the Clouse Fleets such as Arcona's were able to simply escape.

== Pathology and Symptoms ==
The Plague, referred to by the infected and [[Dark Council]] as the Horizon, foremost removed the ability for the infect to control or hear the call of the Force. Due to this unique nature, it seemed to affect those with less training or attachment first; striking the Journeymen before working its way through the Brotherhood's ranks until it eventually engulfed all but the [[Elder]]s.

Three unique ‘stages’ of the plague were identified during the conflict. The first stage cutting the infected from the Force and providing them with some fairly minor physical enhancements. People at this stage were generally a little faster, tougher and stronger than they had been.

[[File:Virus.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Microscopic image of the Horizon virus]]

As the virus continued to its second stage, the rot began to set in a little deeper and those affected seemed to improve even more physically, but at a cost. The Horizon plague began to eat away at the infected’s mind. Though a ‘second stager’ still retained a lot of their mental capacity, the damage was enough to cause irrational thoughts that one’s own superiors were responsible.

Finally, the third stage of the plague continued to boost the host body’s strength, speed and toughness, but also continued to break their mind down. By the time a Jedi had reached the third stage, they were usually in full rebellion against their former masters, believing them to be the cause of the plague.

== Perspectives ==
=== Arconan ===
Three days after the news spread of the Virus is when the infected Journeyman and Equites struck against their leaders. All Headquarters of Clan Arcona and its subsidiary Houses were placed in a lockdown to keep it contained. The infected members were quickly subdued and quarantined, though not without casualties. Some members of the Summit Guard perished whilst subduing the Journeyman and first level Equites, with a large number of the rest and some Summit members requiring a medbay visit. Over time, it spread from just the Journeyman and first level Equites to where the second level Equites were in Stage One of the Horizons Virus.

The boost itself was almost addictive, but it didn’t quite replace the feeling of loss from my Force powers that were blocked by the Virus. I could feel my power, simmering just beneath the surface, yet out of reach to me.

[[File:CNS.jpeg|thumb|left|200px]]

While many of those loyal to [[Clan]] [[Naga Sadow]] who were initially unaffected by the plague sought to control the chaos flooding their home system of [[Orian system|Orian]], many more left the system to assist other units of the Brotherhood and often left in search of a cure to the plague. The chaos in Orian itself was largely considered a misstep of its own; the assembled members of the Clan permitted free-reign of the system and to intermingle with the civilian population of the [[Dlarit Corporation]]'s holdings had meant that when the first riots and uprising started amongst the [[Journeymen]], the civilians were caught in the crossfire. In a matter of hours from first signs of rebellion all major settlements of the Orian system found themselves home to conflict between those affected and the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]] aided by those still in control of their faculties. As the virus continued to claim victims, the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Board of Directors|Board of Directors]] issued a state of Martial Law, locking down the system and creating a security cordon around the system along all Hyperspace routes to ensure civilian assets could not flee the system in the case that Lightsabers or Force Powers were used amongst the conflict. Likewise all Holonet traffic was heavily monitored and disrupted by agents of [[Strategic Hazard Assessment Division and Operational Warfare|SHADOW]], this worked to the [[Elder]]s advantage as the affected could be tracked and contained until a cure was found.

== Outcome and Results ==
Following the end of the conflict, the members of [[House]] [[Plagueis]] had to deal with the lasting affects of the Horizon plague spores upon the planet of [[Kapsina]] and the reality that they may need to relocate their home system. Likewise many other units within the Brotherhood had to contend with the effects of the riots and armed demonstrations which occurred across all of the Brotherhood dominion due to the misguided beliefs and possible delusions of the infected.

The additional results of the conflict have been withheld by the [[Dark Council]] at this time.

{{Quote|Every drop of blood, every bitter tear, every bead of sweat. I LIVE FOR THIS!|[http://youtu.be/J_iXkX7psfM Darth Jasta]}}

Cop, spook, [[starwars:swooper|swooper]], enforcer, leg breaker, [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], [[Obelisk]], Mafioso, [[Equite]], [[Shadesworn]]. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason and definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

== Character History ==

===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_son_of_a_seventh_son Seventh Son of a Seventh Son] (13 BBY-2 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|A demon spawn. The child of a bastard son. Seven born of seven and the Seventh child fathered one. A soul black full of pain. Bodies in the field. Blood pourin' like rain|[http://youtu.be/lQSHJhxdb1U Darth Boondox]}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim_Territories|Outer Rim]], Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a [[starwars:Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems|Confederacy]] war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to [[starwars:Darth|Darth ]] [[starwars:Revan|Revan]]'s Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fought in the prize fighting circuit. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]] veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (3-4 ABY/16-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and absolutely without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review circa 4 ABY}}

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:Imperial_Sector_Rangers|Imperial Sector Ranger]]'s. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the [[starwars:Empire|Empire]]. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperial service despite his [[starwars:Near_human|near-human]] heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the [[starwars:Imperial_Training_Center|Imperial Training Center]] on nearby [[starwars:Daluuj|Daluuj]].

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_entry dynamic and deliberate entry], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Operations_in_Urban_Terrain military operations in urban terrain]. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at most Sector Ranger skill sets.

The Mirialan's general instruction at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the [[starwars:Albanin_sector|Albanin sector]], which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his year and a half long assignment in the Albanin sector.

Etah's job as an Imperial Sector Ranger involved routine criminal instigation. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpena subpenas] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_(law) warrants], and he could search public and private property, seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as an Imperial Sector Ranger he personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people. He was successful because he was talented, secure in his authority and unhesitating in his duty. It was for these reasons, as well as his advanced training, that he was chosen to become a [[starwars:Special Enforcement Officer|Special Enforcement Officer]].

===Special Enforcement Officer (5-11 ABY/18-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Absolutely without fear to what should be the point of recklessness, but it always seems to work out for him|Passing comment from a coworker circa 8 ABY}}

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

Around this time, the Empire was crumbling, even in the Outer Rim, and Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]], the Agency that was assuming the assets and role of the Imperial Sector Rangers. Etah was transferred to the Security Force Office on [[starwars:Myomar|Myomar]] in the [[starwars:Celanon Spur|Celanon Spur]] and was appointed as Special Enforcement Officer. He was chosen for his training, his natural ability and so he could be sent undercover in circles that would be hostile to humans.

In the next three years Etah pursued and arrested dozens of high profile and dangerous criminals. [[starwars:pirate|pirates]], [[starwars:slavery|slavers]], [[starwars:assassin|assassins]], [[starwars:crime lord|Mob enforcers]], [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunters]], Etah tracked them down. He infiltrated their homes, their fortresses, their [[starwars:skyhook|skyhooks]] and their ships. He chased them from the Outer-Rim, beyond [[starwars:wild space|wild space]] and as far as the [[starwars:core worlds|core worlds]] and the [[starwars:deep core|deep core]]. No matter what it took, he killed or captured them all. Of course, he had the resources of the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]] to assist him.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go undercover, sometimes for months at a time. His last assignment was to expose and dismantle a powerful [[starwars:black market|black market]] centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw [[starwars:Swoop gang|swoop club]] called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/25-35 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The floodgates of the Damned shall crash and burn once again. Down, Down, Down, Forever Down|[http://youtu.be/m1AuFEawM9c Darth Wylde]}}

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]]. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling [[starwars:spice|spice]] to this Black Market.

[[File:EtahAdult6.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire and the New Republic never really offered him. During the first year he was with the Damned Swoop Club, he was still working as an undercover Special Enforcement Officer. But during that year he made no arrests as doing so would compromise his cover. During the wrap up of the Operation, a dozen members of the Damned were arrested by the local [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]] despite Etah's insistence at their immunity.

With his contract coming to an end, Etah was supposed to be transferred. But instead, he quit or rather, simply failed to sign a new contract which resulted in his separation from service. The Damned accepted the explanation that he had no say in the arrests and he earned his patch by freeing eight of the twelve members of the Club that had been arrested from their prison facilities. He knew ins and outs of the former Sector Ranger facilities, infiltrated them and freed his Club mates.

Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His talent, a holdover from his says as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. Compelling their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterintelligence counterintelligence] role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life, was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off [[starwars:Twi'lek|Twi'lek]] slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/36 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I drink a lotta whiskey, smokin all the timeI'm gettin fucked up every god damn night. Everybody's doin cocaine and startin up fights and I'm livin fast and hard and dyin hard with my god damn. Loaded fists of fury, doin what I do.|[http://youtu.be/escWLa1MvkQ Darth III]}}

[[File:EtahAdult5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah not long after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the [[Tana_Incorporated|Tana Consortium]]. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized the gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching [[starwars:Nar Shadda|Nar Shadda]] at its farthest. Which at the time, relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. All that was to change with their product going galactic.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed [[starwars:Force-sensitive|force sensitivity]] within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering laundered] back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/37 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood. Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy|[http://youtu.be/BNUEhLavV2k Darth Araya]}}

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, [[Proconsul]] of [[Arcona]] at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young [[Guardian]] Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]]. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would later be given the opportunity to serve as [[Aedile]] of the [[House Galeres]].

===Tomb of Doom and Ascension to Knighthood (25 ABY/38 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down And It All Goes Wrong Again|[http://youtu.be/EdQjqY9JDmI Darth Alexakis]}}

[[File:EtahBiker2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah around the time of his knighting]]

Over the next year Etah commanded his Battle Team. In this role he led some of the most talented people in the Brotherhood including former and future [[Consul]] [[Mejas Doto]] and future [[Seneschal]] [[Orv Dessrx d'Tana]]. Toward the end of his tenure as Battle Team Leader, his Master Psyko d'Tana, sent him on a special mission. Etah traveled to [[starwars:Honoghr|Honoghr]] where his mission was to obtain [[starwars:lightsaber crystal|lightsaber crystals]] used by Darth Sogr of the [[starwars:Noghri|Noghri]] Kagh'jah Clan, who was commandant of the [[starwars:Sith academy of Honoghr|Sith academy of Honoghr]] during the New Sith Wars [[starwars:New Sith Wars|New Sith Wars]].

Etah obtained the lightsaber crystals but was injured when Sogr’s crypt crashed into itself, which also destroyed his transportation. He was saved and tended too by local Noghri and was eventually accepted into the local Noghri clan. Etah having constructed his first lightsaber, destroyed a beast of unknown and perhaps supernatural origins called the Demurgima. Only after this rather dramatic climax, did Arconan forces sent by Selene d’Tana retrieve him from the rural planet.

===Becoming a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_man Made man] and Crying in the Dark (26 ABY/39 yrs old)===
{{Quote|[[starwars:Corellian_whiskey|Whiskey]] river take my mind. Don't let her memory torture me. Whiskey river don't run dry, your all I got take care of me.|[http://youtu.be/-ZQBm2aUpEw Darth Willie]}}

After returning from Honoghr and shortly before officially being promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], the [[d'Tana]] family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named [[Rho]], were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men, Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family that were under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, he choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, as a front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

===Dark Times (27 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|That's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement|[http://youtu.be/XSbZidsgMfw Darth Creator]}}

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as [[Quaestor]] to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short while.

[[File:EtahBiker4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah contemplating amidst the darkness]]

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|8th Great Jedi War]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Questor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Questor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediatly followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events, caused a rift between Etah and much of the rest of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY/42 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be...me|[http://youtu.be/WziA88-n02k Darth Matchbox]}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar even then. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's dissident activity and planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Questors of both houses for various reasons. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Questorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/43 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt it's fleet. It decided the propper time to return to [[Antei]] and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In it's place however, was a crackpot [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named [[Omancor Crask]], leading a band of anacronistic [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi's]] that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and thier metal golems. [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]] killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reocupying the system. Upon returning to [[Dajorra]], the Garconan spice viens were found to be dried up. The future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprentichip to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elivated to [[Krath Archpriest]]. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Questor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order.

Etah's tenure as Questor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===Watcher of Arcona (32-34 ABY/45-47 years old)===
{{Quote|On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down|[http://youtu.be/se4fhy5eg6o Darth Cash]}}

Following his time as Questor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during [[starwars:Vongforming|Vongforming]] of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to [[starwars:Kessel|Kessel]], located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its scary [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] from [[Sith]] Incursion.

[[File:EtahAdult1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah celebrating Arcona's victory]]

===A Legacy of Excellence (35 ABY/48 yrs old)===
{{Quote|After we won the last Great Jedi War I announced to the House Galeres, that we had witnessed the Twilight of Taldryan Dominance and the Dawn of Arconan Supremacy. Moving forward, we have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence|Etah in a communique to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the families finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication, a call to invade [[New Tython]] came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in per-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reenforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.

==Appearance==
[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]][[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg |thumb|right|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]
Etah stands at just over six foot tall. Though his shoulders appears broad and his chest seems wide, he has a much more athletic figure than you would first imagine, a trait of his rather lithe species. He has repeating geometric patterns down both cheeks, also a trait of his culture. Each small diamond inscribed on his face marks a kill. His mustache, beard and long hair, along with his demeanor and manner of dress, give the impression that he is something of a brute, this is an intentional misdirection.

===Leathers===
Etah generally wears his swoop riding leathers for all but formal occasions. The outfit includes leather boots, leather chaps, a leather vest, a leather jacket, jeans and a tee-shirt. He likes the look and feel of the leathers and he enjoys the outfits connection to swoop culture and its inherent violence, which can have the side affect of intimidation. The leathers are also functional, keeping the hot swoop from burning his skin and keeping his skin intact should he crash his swoop and skid along the cement.

===Robes===
Like most of Arcona's Equites Etah generally wears the formal robes of the Shadesworn Cult. But even then he generally wears them over his riding leathers.

===Armor===
When Etah is training or on a mission with the Soulfire Strike Team. he wears the Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit that they all do.

==Psychological Profile==
There are two Etah's: one is the professional operator that he has to be and the other is the loud, obnoxious, cocky, but lovable SOB that he really is. His overly confident swagger sometimes makes for a rocky first impression, but his sheer competence generally assures a great second impression. Etah is nice to those he doesn't know, unless he takes a disliking to them. He is very nice to those he considers enemies and ironically enough, jokingly mean to those he considers friends. Threats are below him, he would rather meet others threats with action.
Etah doesn't possess a traditional sense of morals but instead lives by his own creed. His personal creed favors his comrades and is a little looser on practices that many people would consider wrong like theft, murder and other things that somehow benefit him in survival, attaining a mission objective or profit. When a given situation has to do with survival, Etah is primordially instinctual. If a given situation has to do with attaining a mission objective, he is focused like a laser but if it has to do with profit, he is his own gregarious self.

==Combat==
===The Force===
====Aggressive Negotiations====
When fighting a force sensitive opponent Etah likes to use Suppression to lower their force defense and then throughout the fight, he weaves in Drain Will and Dark Side Snare to destroy their will and means to fight respectively. These three force abilities on any one person, drastically reduce their ability to fight at Etah's level.

====Force Wraiths====
Like most Arconan's, Force Wraith's are his signature force ability. The causal observer notes, his largest wraith is a flying dragon followed by a large wolf of some type and the trio is rounded out by some sort of rabid hunting dog. Even when not actively using them, Etah likes to arrange the Force Wraiths, behind and to the side of any person or group he is fighting. It keeps them off guard and makes them feel vulnerable.

[[File:SBehemoth.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Behemoth]]
=====Behemoth=====
Standing at one and one quarter meters tall and nearly three meters long, the Behemoth is a very large shadowy canine creature. It is very powerful and agile and it moves very quickly. Its powerful jaws contain razor sharp teeth and its paws are framed by disproportionately large claws. If acting without command from Etah, Behemoth is very protective of Etah and the other Force Wraiths.

[[File:SLeviathan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Leviathan]]
=====Leviathan=====
Five meters long, including its tail, this force wraith can sit three meters tall when on its hind legs. Like any good demon dragon it has horns, a mouthful of jagged teeth, very large and sharp claws on its front and back feet. The Leviathan is Etah's throne and he rides upon the dragons back as it takes flight and often closes with his opponent, with a quick leap from it's back. If acting without command from Etah, Leviathan aggressively attacks his opponents.

[[File:SStava.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Stava]]
=====Stava=====
When not in combat Stava generally sits near Etah and he's probably Etah's favorite force Wraith. He tends to treat Stava like a pet dog. Looking very much like a large and demonic version of a stava, this force wraith is one meter long and a half meter tall. If in combat and acting without command from Etah, Stava chooses either Behemoth or Leviathan to assist
and then attacks Etah's enemies recklessly and aggressively.

====Tenebrae====
Choosing a strategic choke point point that his opponent will without a doubt move around, near, past or by, Etah stands unseen using any combination of Cloak, Twilight and Blackness. He waits until they are either within striking distance to attack, or using Burst of Speed or Equite Speed, are within a few large steps. The ambush is sudden, swift, aggressive and powerful. The idea is the defeat them quickly.

====Mindtweak====
Using the Obelisk ability Alter Image, Etah assumes the visage of the person he is fighting and using his mastery of the Tu'rek fighting style, he perfectly mirrors the person and adapts movement and technique similar to them. This tactic is guaranteed to make a person at least uneasy and has the potential to throw them off their game quite a bit.

====Stutter Steps/Stabs/Thrusts====
Etah likes to move into a lightsaber stab, chop or wrap and pause momentarily, drastically increasing the speed of the shot once he resumes movement. He can do so using just his high levels of agility or he can augment his agility with Enhance Ability or his speed with Burst of Speed or Equite Speed. This works well, with his mastery of the stava fighting style and has the benefit of sometimes fooling Precognition or Dodge.

===Hand-to-Hand Combat===
====Stava====
Etah began learning the Stava fighting style from Sashar and then later spent time on Honoghr learning to master Stava from the Noghri themselves. Stava's reliance on attack as a defense and its quick and well placed strikes have worked their way into every facet of his fighting, from hand to hand to lightsaber fighting.
====Tu'rek====
Etah uses Tu'rek as a training method to study his opponents style of fighting and ascertain weaknesses. The swooper also uses Tu'rek in the Mindtweak fighting technique.
===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah blends the defensive benefits of Shien with the dueling supremacy of Soresu. Etah's overall style is offensive without leaving himself exposed which boils down to a system of aggressive perry and ripost.
====Primary Lightsaber Form: Makashi====
Since Etah prefers to fight a lightsaber wielding opponent using a lightsaber, he learned Makashi to specifically dominate in lightsaber fights. He trained in Makashi with his first master, Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana and achieved mastery under his instruction.
====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Soresu====
Etah began learning Soresu from Selene d'Tana who though his first mentor in the Dark Brotherhood and his first battle team leader, was not officially his mentor. Her exit from the Clan Arcona is one of the reasons he has yet to master this form.

{{Quote|Every drop of blood, every bitter tear, every bead of sweat. I LIVE FOR THIS!|[http://youtu.be/J_iXkX7psfM Darth Jasta]}}

Cop, spook, [[starwars:swooper|swooper]], enforcer, leg breaker, [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], [[Obelisk]], Mafioso, [[Equite]], [[Shadesworn]]. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason and definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

== Character History ==

===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_son_of_a_seventh_son Seventh Son of a Seventh Son] (13 BBY-2 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|A demon spawn. The child of a bastard son. Seven born of seven and the Seventh child fathered one. A soul black full of pain. Bodies in the field. Blood pourin' like rain|[http://youtu.be/lQSHJhxdb1U Darth Boondox]}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim_Territories|Outer Rim]], Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a [[starwars:Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems|Confederacy]] war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to [[starwars:Darth|Darth ]] [[starwars:Revan|Revan]]'s Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fought in the prize fighting circuit. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]] veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (3-4 ABY/16-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and absolutely without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review circa 4 ABY}}

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:Imperial_Sector_Rangers|Imperial Sector Ranger]]'s. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the [[starwars:Empire|Empire]]. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperial service despite his [[starwars:Near_human|near-human]] heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the [[starwars:Imperial_Training_Center|Imperial Training Center]] on nearby [[starwars:Daluuj|Daluuj]].

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_entry dynamic and deliberate entry], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Operations_in_Urban_Terrain military operations in urban terrain]. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at most Sector Ranger skill sets.

The Mirialan's general instruction at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the [[starwars:Albanin_sector|Albanin sector]], which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his year and a half long assignment in the Albanin sector.

Etah's job as an Imperial Sector Ranger involved routine criminal instigation. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpena subpenas] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_(law) warrants], and he could search public and private property, seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as an Imperial Sector Ranger he personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people. He was successful because he was talented, secure in his authority and unhesitating in his duty. It was for these reasons, as well as his advanced training, that he was chosen to become a [[starwars:Special Enforcement Officer|Special Enforcement Officer]].

===Special Enforcement Officer (5-11 ABY/18-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Absolutely without fear to what should be the point of recklessness, but it always seems to work out for him|Passing comment from a coworker circa 8 ABY}}

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

Around this time, the Empire was crumbling, even in the Outer Rim, and Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]], the Agency that was assuming the assets and role of the Imperial Sector Rangers. Etah was transferred to the Security Force Office on [[starwars:Myomar|Myomar]] in the [[starwars:Celanon Spur|Celanon Spur]] and was appointed as Special Enforcement Officer. He was chosen for his training, his natural ability and so he could be sent undercover in circles that would be hostile to humans.

In the next three years Etah pursued and arrested dozens of high profile and dangerous criminals. [[starwars:pirate|pirates]], [[starwars:slavery|slavers]], [[starwars:assassin|assassins]], [[starwars:crime lord|Mob enforcers]], [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunters]], Etah tracked them down. He infiltrated their homes, their fortresses, their [[starwars:skyhook|skyhooks]] and their ships. He chased them from the Outer-Rim, beyond [[starwars:wild space|wild space]] and as far as the [[starwars:core worlds|core worlds]] and the [[starwars:deep core|deep core]]. No matter what it took, he killed or captured them all. Of course, he had the resources of the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]] to assist him.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go undercover, sometimes for months at a time. His last assignment was to expose and dismantle a powerful [[starwars:black market|black market]] centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw [[starwars:Swoop gang|swoop club]] called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/25-35 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The floodgates of the Damned shall crash and burn once again. Down, Down, Down, Forever Down|[http://youtu.be/m1AuFEawM9c Darth Wylde]}}

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]]. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling [[starwars:spice|spice]] to this Black Market.

[[File:EtahAdult6.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire and the New Republic never really offered him. During the first year he was with the Damned Swoop Club, he was still working as an undercover Special Enforcement Officer. But during that year he made no arrests as doing so would compromise his cover. During the wrap up of the Operation, a dozen members of the Damned were arrested by the local [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]] despite Etah's insistence at their immunity.

With his contract coming to an end, Etah was supposed to be transferred. But instead, he quit or rather, simply failed to sign a new contract which resulted in his separation from service. The Damned accepted the explanation that he had no say in the arrests and he earned his patch by freeing eight of the twelve members of the Club that had been arrested from their prison facilities. He knew ins and outs of the former Sector Ranger facilities, infiltrated them and freed his Club mates.

Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His talent, a holdover from his says as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. Compelling their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterintelligence counterintelligence] role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life, was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off [[starwars:Twi'lek|Twi'lek]] slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/36 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I drink a lotta whiskey, smokin all the timeI'm gettin fucked up every god damn night. Everybody's doin cocaine and startin up fights and I'm livin fast and hard and dyin hard with my god damn. Loaded fists of fury, doin what I do.|[http://youtu.be/escWLa1MvkQ Darth III]}}

[[File:EtahAdult5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah not long after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the [[Tana_Incorporated|Tana Consortium]]. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized the gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching [[starwars:Nar Shadda|Nar Shadda]] at its farthest. Which at the time, relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. All that was to change with their product going galactic.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed [[starwars:Force-sensitive|force sensitivity]] within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering laundered] back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/37 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood. Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy|[http://youtu.be/BNUEhLavV2k Darth Araya]}}

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, [[Proconsul]] of [[Arcona]] at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young [[Guardian]] Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]]. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would later be given the opportunity to serve as [[Aedile]] of the [[House Galeres]].

===Tomb of Doom and Ascension to Knighthood (25 ABY/38 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down And It All Goes Wrong Again|[http://youtu.be/EdQjqY9JDmI Darth Alexakis]}}

[[File:EtahBiker2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah around the time of his knighting]]

Over the next year Etah commanded his Battle Team. In this role he led some of the most talented people in the Brotherhood including former and future [[Consul]] [[Mejas Doto]] and future [[Seneschal]] [[Orv Dessrx d'Tana]]. Toward the end of his tenure as Battle Team Leader, his Master Psyko d'Tana, sent him on a special mission. Etah traveled to [[starwars:Honoghr|Honoghr]] where his mission was to obtain [[starwars:lightsaber crystal|lightsaber crystals]] used by Darth Sogr of the [[starwars:Noghri|Noghri]] Kagh'jah Clan, who was commandant of the [[starwars:Sith academy of Honoghr|Sith academy of Honoghr]] during the New Sith Wars [[starwars:New Sith Wars|New Sith Wars]].

Etah obtained the lightsaber crystals but was injured when Sogr’s crypt crashed into itself, which also destroyed his transportation. He was saved and tended too by local Noghri and was eventually accepted into the local Noghri clan. Etah having constructed his first lightsaber, destroyed a beast of unknown and perhaps supernatural origins called the Demurgima. Only after this rather dramatic climax, did Arconan forces sent by Selene d’Tana retrieve him from the rural planet.

===Becoming a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_man Made man] and Crying in the Dark (26 ABY/39 yrs old)===
{{Quote|[[starwars:Corellian_whiskey|Whiskey]] river take my mind. Don't let her memory torture me. Whiskey river don't run dry, your all I got take care of me.|[http://youtu.be/-ZQBm2aUpEw Darth Willie]}}

After returning from Honoghr and shortly before officially being promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], the [[d'Tana]] family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named [[Rho]], were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men, Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family that were under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, he choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, as a front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

===Dark Times (27 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|That's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement|[http://youtu.be/XSbZidsgMfw Darth Creator]}}

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as [[Quaestor]] to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short while.

[[File:EtahBiker4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah contemplating amidst the darkness]]

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|8th Great Jedi War]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Questor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Questor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediatly followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events, caused a rift between Etah and much of the rest of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY/42 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be...me|[http://youtu.be/WziA88-n02k Darth Matchbox]}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar even then. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's dissident activity and planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Questors of both houses for various reasons. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Questorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/43 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt it's fleet. It decided the propper time to return to [[Antei]] and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In it's place however, was a crackpot [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named [[Omancor Crask]], leading a band of anacronistic [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi's]] that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and thier metal golems. [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]] killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reocupying the system. Upon returning to [[Dajorra]], the Garconan spice viens were found to be dried up. The future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprentichip to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elivated to [[Krath Archpriest]]. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Questor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order.

Etah's tenure as Questor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===Watcher of Arcona (32-34 ABY/45-47 years old)===
{{Quote|On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down|[http://youtu.be/se4fhy5eg6o Darth Cash]}}

Following his time as Questor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during [[starwars:Vongforming|Vongforming]] of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to [[starwars:Kessel|Kessel]], located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its scary [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] from [[Sith]] Incursion.

[[File:EtahAdult1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah celebrating Arcona's victory]]

===A Legacy of Excellence (35 ABY/48 yrs old)===
{{Quote|After we won the last Great Jedi War I announced to the House Galeres, that we had witnessed the Twilight of Taldryan Dominance and the Dawn of Arconan Supremacy. Moving forward, we have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence|Etah in a communique to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the families finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication, a call to invade [[New Tython]] came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in per-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reenforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.

==Appearance==
[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]][[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg |thumb|right|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]
Etah stands at just over six foot tall. Though his shoulders appears broad and his chest seems wide, he has a much more athletic figure than you would first imagine, a trait of his rather lithe species. He has repeating geometric patterns down both cheeks, also a trait of his culture. Each small diamond inscribed on his face marks a kill. His mustache, beard and long hair, along with his demeanor and manner of dress, give the impression that he is something of a brute, this is an intentional misdirection.

===Leathers===
Etah generally wears his swoop riding leathers for all but formal occasions. The outfit includes leather boots, leather chaps, a leather vest, a leather jacket, jeans and a tee-shirt. He likes the look and feel of the leathers and he enjoys the outfits connection to swoop culture and its inherent violence, which can have the side affect of intimidation. The leathers are also functional, keeping the hot swoop from burning his skin and keeping his skin intact should he crash his swoop and skid along the cement.

===Robes===
Like most of Arcona's Equites Etah generally wears the formal robes of the Shadesworn Cult. But even then he generally wears them over his riding leathers.

===Armor===
When Etah is training or on a mission with the Soulfire Strike Team. he wears the Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit that they all do.

==Psychological Profile==
There are two Etah's: one is the professional operator that he has to be and the other is the loud, obnoxious, cocky, but lovable SOB that he really is. His overly confident swagger sometimes makes for a rocky first impression, but his sheer competence generally assures a great second impression. Etah is nice to those he doesn't know, unless he takes a disliking to them. He is very nice to those he considers enemies and ironically enough, jokingly mean to those he considers friends. Threats are below him, he would rather meet others threats with action.
Etah doesn't possess a traditional sense of morals but instead lives by his own creed. His personal creed favors his comrades and is a little looser on practices that many people would consider wrong like theft, murder and other things that somehow benefit him in survival, attaining a mission objective or profit. When a given situation has to do with survival, Etah is primordially instinctual. If a given situation has to do with attaining a mission objective, he is focused like a laser but if it has to do with profit, he is his own gregarious self.

==Combat==
===The Force===
====Aggressive Negotiations====
When fighting a force sensitive opponent Etah likes to use Suppression to lower their force defense and then throughout the fight, he weaves in Drain Will and Dark Side Snare to destroy their will and means to fight respectively. These three force abilities on any one person, drastically reduce their ability to fight at Etah's level.

====Force Wraiths====
Like most Arconan's, Force Wraith's are his signature force ability. The causal observer notes, his largest wraith is a flying dragon followed by a large wolf of some type and the trio is rounded out by some sort of rabid hunting dog. Even when not actively using them, Etah likes to arrange the Force Wraiths, behind and to the side of any person or group he is fighting. It keeps them off guard and makes them feel vulnerable.

[[File:SBehemoth.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Behemoth]]
=====Behemoth=====
Standing at one and one quarter meters tall and nearly three meters long, the Behemoth is a very large shadowy canine creature. It is very powerful and agile and it moves very quickly. Its powerful jaws contain razor sharp teeth and its paws are framed by disproportionately large claws. If acting without command from Etah, Behemoth is very protective of Etah and the other Force Wraiths.

[[File:SLeviathan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Leviathan]]
=====Leviathan=====
Five meters long, including its tail, this force wraith can sit three meters tall when on its hind legs. Like any good demon dragon it has horns, a mouthful of jagged teeth, very large and sharp claws on its front and back feet. The Leviathan is Etah's throne and he rides upon the dragons back as it takes flight and often closes with his opponent, with a quick leap from it's back. If acting without command from Etah, Leviathan aggressively attacks his opponents.

[[File:SStava.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Stava]]
=====Stava=====
When not in combat Stava generally sits near Etah and he's probably Etah's favorite force Wraith. He tends to treat Stava like a pet dog. Looking very much like a large and demonic version of a stava, this force wraith is one meter long and a half meter tall. If in combat and acting without command from Etah, Stava chooses either Behemoth or Leviathan to assist
and then attacks Etah's enemies recklessly and aggressively.

====Tenebrae====
Choosing a strategic choke point point that his opponent will without a doubt move around, near, past or by, Etah stands unseen using any combination of Cloak, Twilight and Blackness. He waits until they are either within striking distance to attack, or using Burst of Speed or Equite Speed, are within a few large steps. The ambush is sudden, swift, aggressive and powerful. The idea is the defeat them quickly.

====Mindtweak====
Using the Obelisk ability Alter Image, Etah assumes the visage of the person he is fighting and using his mastery of the Tu'rek fighting style, he perfectly mirrors the person and adapts movement and technique similar to them. This tactic is guaranteed to make a person at least uneasy and has the potential to throw them off their game quite a bit.

====Stutter Steps/Stabs/Thrusts====
Etah likes to move into a lightsaber stab, chop or wrap and pause momentarily, drastically increasing the speed of the shot once he resumes movement. He can do so using just his high levels of agility or he can augment his agility with Enhance Ability or his speed with Burst of Speed or Equite Speed. This works well, with his mastery of the stava fighting style and has the benefit of sometimes fooling Precognition or Dodge.

===Hand-to-Hand Combat===
====Stava====
Etah began learning the Stava fighting style from Sashar and then later spent time on Honoghr learning to master Stava from the Noghri themselves. Stava's reliance on attack as a defense and its quick and well placed strikes have worked their way into every facet of his fighting, from hand to hand to lightsaber fighting.
====Tu'rek====
Etah uses Tu'rek as a training method to study his opponents style of fighting and ascertain weaknesses. The swooper also uses Tu'rek in the Mindtweak fighting technique.
===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah blends the defensive benefits of Shien with the dueling supremacy of Soresu. Etah's overall style is offensive without leaving himself exposed which boils down to a system of aggressive perry and ripost.
====Primary Lightsaber Form: Soresu====
Since Etah prefers to fight a lightsaber wielding opponent using a lightsaber, he learned Soresu to specifically dominate in lightsaber fights. He began training in Soresu with his first master, Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana and achieved mastery under instruction from Sashar Erinos Arconae.
====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Shien====
Etah began learning Shien from Selene d'Tana who though his first mentor in the Dark Brotherhood and his first battle team leader, was not officially his mentor. Her exit from the Clan Arcona is one of the reasons he has yet to master this form.

{{Quote|Every drop of blood, every bitter tear, every bead of sweat. I LIVE FOR THIS!|[http://youtu.be/J_iXkX7psfM Darth Jasta]}}

Cop, spook, [[starwars:swooper|swooper]], enforcer, leg breaker, [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], [[Obelisk]], Mafioso, [[Equite]], [[Shadesworn]]. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason and definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

== Character History ==

===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_son_of_a_seventh_son Seventh Son of a Seventh Son] (13 BBY-2 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|A demon spawn. The child of a bastard son. Seven born of seven and the Seventh child fathered one. A soul black full of pain. Bodies in the field. Blood pourin' like rain|[http://youtu.be/lQSHJhxdb1U Darth Boondox]}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim_Territories|Outer Rim]], Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a [[starwars:Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems|Confederacy]] war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to [[starwars:Darth|Darth ]] [[starwars:Revan|Revan]]'s Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fought in the prize fighting circuit. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]] veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (3-4 ABY/16-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and absolutely without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review circa 4 ABY}}

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:Imperial_Sector_Rangers|Imperial Sector Ranger]]'s. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the [[starwars:Empire|Empire]]. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperial service despite his [[starwars:Near_human|near-human]] heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the [[starwars:Imperial_Training_Center|Imperial Training Center]] on nearby [[starwars:Daluuj|Daluuj]].

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_entry dynamic and deliberate entry], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Operations_in_Urban_Terrain military operations in urban terrain]. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at most Sector Ranger skill sets.

The Mirialan's general instruction at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the [[starwars:Albanin_sector|Albanin sector]], which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his year and a half long assignment in the Albanin sector.

Etah's job as an Imperial Sector Ranger involved routine criminal instigation. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpena subpenas] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_(law) warrants], and he could search public and private property, seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as an Imperial Sector Ranger he personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people. He was successful because he was talented, secure in his authority and unhesitating in his duty. It was for these reasons, as well as his advanced training, that he was chosen to become a [[starwars:Special Enforcement Officer|Special Enforcement Officer]].

===Special Enforcement Officer (5-11 ABY/18-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Absolutely without fear to what should be the point of recklessness, but it always seems to work out for him|Passing comment from a coworker circa 8 ABY}}

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

Around this time, the Empire was crumbling, even in the Outer Rim, and Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]], the Agency that was assuming the assets and role of the Imperial Sector Rangers. Etah was transferred to the Security Force Office on [[starwars:Myomar|Myomar]] in the [[starwars:Celanon Spur|Celanon Spur]] and was appointed as Special Enforcement Officer. He was chosen for his training, his natural ability and so he could be sent undercover in circles that would be hostile to humans.

In the next three years Etah pursued and arrested dozens of high profile and dangerous criminals. [[starwars:pirate|pirates]], [[starwars:slavery|slavers]], [[starwars:assassin|assassins]], [[starwars:crime lord|Mob enforcers]], [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunters]], Etah tracked them down. He infiltrated their homes, their fortresses, their [[starwars:skyhook|skyhooks]] and their ships. He chased them from the Outer-Rim, beyond [[starwars:wild space|wild space]] and as far as the [[starwars:core worlds|core worlds]] and the [[starwars:deep core|deep core]]. No matter what it took, he killed or captured them all. Of course, he had the resources of the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]] to assist him.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go undercover, sometimes for months at a time. His last assignment was to expose and dismantle a powerful [[starwars:black market|black market]] centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw [[starwars:Swoop gang|swoop club]] called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/25-35 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The floodgates of the Damned shall crash and burn once again. Down, Down, Down, Forever Down|[http://youtu.be/m1AuFEawM9c Darth Wylde]}}

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]]. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling [[starwars:spice|spice]] to this Black Market.

[[File:EtahAdult6.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire and the New Republic never really offered him. During the first year he was with the Damned Swoop Club, he was still working as an undercover Special Enforcement Officer. But during that year he made no arrests as doing so would compromise his cover. During the wrap up of the Operation, a dozen members of the Damned were arrested by the local [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]] despite Etah's insistence at their immunity.

With his contract coming to an end, Etah was supposed to be transferred. But instead, he quit or rather, simply failed to sign a new contract which resulted in his separation from service. The Damned accepted the explanation that he had no say in the arrests and he earned his patch by freeing eight of the twelve members of the Club that had been arrested from their prison facilities. He knew ins and outs of the former Sector Ranger facilities, infiltrated them and freed his Club mates.

Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His talent, a holdover from his says as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. Compelling their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterintelligence counterintelligence] role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life, was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off [[starwars:Twi'lek|Twi'lek]] slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/36 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I drink a lotta whiskey, smokin all the timeI'm gettin fucked up every god damn night. Everybody's doin cocaine and startin up fights and I'm livin fast and hard and dyin hard with my god damn. Loaded fists of fury, doin what I do.|[http://youtu.be/escWLa1MvkQ Darth III]}}

[[File:EtahAdult5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah not long after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the [[Tana_Incorporated|Tana Consortium]]. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized the gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching [[starwars:Nar Shadda|Nar Shadda]] at its farthest. Which at the time, relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. All that was to change with their product going galactic.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed [[starwars:Force-sensitive|force sensitivity]] within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering laundered] back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/37 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood. Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy|[http://youtu.be/BNUEhLavV2k Darth Araya]}}

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, [[Proconsul]] of [[Arcona]] at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young [[Guardian]] Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]]. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would later be given the opportunity to serve as [[Aedile]] of the [[House Galeres]].

===Tomb of Doom and Ascension to Knighthood (25 ABY/38 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down And It All Goes Wrong Again|[http://youtu.be/EdQjqY9JDmI Darth Alexakis]}}

[[File:EtahBiker2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah around the time of his knighting]]

Over the next year Etah commanded his Battle Team. In this role he led some of the most talented people in the Brotherhood including former and future [[Consul]] [[Mejas Doto]] and future [[Seneschal]] [[Orv Dessrx d'Tana]]. Toward the end of his tenure as Battle Team Leader, his Master Psyko d'Tana, sent him on a special mission. Etah traveled to [[starwars:Honoghr|Honoghr]] where his mission was to obtain [[starwars:lightsaber crystal|lightsaber crystals]] used by Darth Sogr of the [[starwars:Noghri|Noghri]] Kagh'jah Clan, who was commandant of the [[starwars:Sith academy of Honoghr|Sith academy of Honoghr]] during the New Sith Wars [[starwars:New Sith Wars|New Sith Wars]].

Etah obtained the lightsaber crystals but was injured when Sogr’s crypt crashed into itself, which also destroyed his transportation. He was saved and tended too by local Noghri and was eventually accepted into the local Noghri clan. Etah having constructed his first lightsaber, destroyed a beast of unknown and perhaps supernatural origins called the Demurgima. Only after this rather dramatic climax, did Arconan forces sent by Selene d’Tana retrieve him from the rural planet.

===Becoming a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_man Made man] and Crying in the Dark (26 ABY/39 yrs old)===
{{Quote|[[starwars:Corellian_whiskey|Whiskey]] river take my mind. Don't let her memory torture me. Whiskey river don't run dry, your all I got take care of me.|[http://youtu.be/-ZQBm2aUpEw Darth Willie]}}

After returning from Honoghr and shortly before officially being promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], the [[d'Tana]] family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named [[Rho]], were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men, Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family that were under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, he choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, as a front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

===Dark Times (27 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|That's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement|[http://youtu.be/XSbZidsgMfw Darth Creator]}}

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as [[Quaestor]] to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short while.

[[File:EtahBiker4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah contemplating amidst the darkness]]

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|8th Great Jedi War]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Questor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Questor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediatly followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events, caused a rift between Etah and much of the rest of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY/42 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be...me|[http://youtu.be/WziA88-n02k Darth Matchbox]}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar even then. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's dissident activity and planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Questors of both houses for various reasons. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Questorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/43 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt it's fleet. It decided the propper time to return to [[Antei]] and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In it's place however, was a crackpot [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named [[Omancor Crask]], leading a band of anacronistic [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi's]] that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and thier metal golems. [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]] killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reocupying the system. Upon returning to [[Dajorra]], the Garconan spice viens were found to be dried up. The future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprentichip to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elivated to [[Krath Archpriest]]. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Questor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order.

Etah's tenure as Questor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===Watcher of Arcona (32-34 ABY/45-47 years old)===
{{Quote|On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down|[http://youtu.be/se4fhy5eg6o Darth Cash]}}

Following his time as Questor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during [[starwars:Vongforming|Vongforming]] of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to [[starwars:Kessel|Kessel]], located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its scary [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] from [[Sith]] Incursion.

===A Legacy of Excellence (35 ABY/48 yrs old)===
{{Quote|After we won the last Great Jedi War I announced to the House Galeres, that we had witnessed the Twilight of Taldryan Dominance and the Dawn of Arconan Supremacy. Moving forward, we have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence|Etah in a communique to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the families finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication, a call to invade [[New Tython]] came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in per-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reenforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.

==Appearance==
[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]][[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg |thumb|right|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]
Etah stands at just over six foot tall. Though his shoulders appears broad and his chest seems wide, he has a much more athletic figure than you would first imagine, a trait of his rather lithe species. He has repeating geometric patterns down both cheeks, also a trait of his culture. Each small diamond inscribed on his face marks a kill. His mustache, beard and long hair, along with his demeanor and manner of dress, give the impression that he is something of a brute, this is an intentional misdirection.

===Leathers===
Etah generally wears his swoop riding leathers for all but formal occasions. The outfit includes leather boots, leather chaps, a leather vest, a leather jacket, jeans and a tee-shirt. He likes the look and feel of the leathers and he enjoys the outfits connection to swoop culture and its inherent violence, which can have the side affect of intimidation. The leathers are also functional, keeping the hot swoop from burning his skin and keeping his skin intact should he crash his swoop and skid along the cement.

===Robes===
Like most of Arcona's Equites Etah generally wears the formal robes of the Shadesworn Cult. But even then he generally wears them over his riding leathers.

===Armor===
When Etah is training or on a mission with the Soulfire Strike Team. he wears the Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit that they all do.

==Psychological Profile==
There are two Etah's: one is the professional operator that he has to be and the other is the loud, obnoxious, cocky, but lovable SOB that he really is. His overly confident swagger sometimes makes for a rocky first impression, but his sheer competence generally assures a great second impression. Etah is nice to those he doesn't know, unless he takes a disliking to them. He is very nice to those he considers enemies and ironically enough, jokingly mean to those he considers friends. Threats are below him, he would rather meet others threats with action.
Etah doesn't possess a traditional sense of morals but instead lives by his own creed. His personal creed favors his comrades and is a little looser on practices that many people would consider wrong like theft, murder and other things that somehow benefit him in survival, attaining a mission objective or profit. When a given situation has to do with survival, Etah is primordially instinctual. If a given situation has to do with attaining a mission objective, he is focused like a laser but if it has to do with profit, he is his own gregarious self.

==Combat==
===The Force===
====Aggressive Negotiations====
When fighting a force sensitive opponent Etah likes to use Suppression to lower their force defense and then throughout the fight, he weaves in Drain Will and Dark Side Snare to destroy their will and means to fight respectively. These three force abilities on any one person, drastically reduce their ability to fight at Etah's level.

====Cowboy Diplomacy====
Never bothering to train in grenades and other thrown weaponry until after he joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Etah instead uses grenades and some types of mines with either a precise application of Telekinesis or by Force Pushing the grenades very quickly. He often uses this technique in combination with other tactics such as blaster fire or lightsaber combat.

====Force Wraiths====
Like most Arconan's, Force Wraith's are his signature force ability. The causal observer notes, his largest wraith is a flying dragon followed by a large wolf of some type and the trio is rounded out by some sort of rabid hunting dog. Even when not actively using them, Etah likes to arrange the Force Wraiths, behind and to the side of any person or group he is fighting. It keeps them off guard and makes them feel vulnerable.

[[File:SBehemoth.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Behemoth]]
=====Behemoth=====
Standing at one and one quarter meters tall and nearly three meters long, the Behemoth is a very large shadowy canine creature. It is very powerful and agile and it moves very quickly. Its powerful jaws contain razor sharp teeth and its paws are framed by disproportionately large claws. If acting without command from Etah, Behemoth is very protective of Etah and the other Force Wraiths.

[[File:SLeviathan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Leviathan]]
=====Leviathan=====
Five meters long, including its tail, this force wraith can sit three meters tall when on its hind legs. Like any good demon dragon it has horns, a mouthful of jagged teeth, very large and sharp claws on its front and back feet. The Leviathan is Etah's throne and he rides upon the dragons back as it takes flight and often closes with his opponent, with a quick leap from it's back. If acting without command from Etah, Leviathan aggressively attacks his opponents.

[[File:SStava.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Stava]]
=====Stava=====
When not in combat Stava generally sits near Etah and he's probably Etah's favorite force Wraith. He tends to treat Stava like a pet dog. Looking very much like a large and demonic version of a stava, this force wraith is one meter long and a half meter tall. If in combat and acting without command from Etah, Stava chooses either Behemoth or Leviathan to assist
and then attacks Etah's enemies recklessly and aggressively.

====Tenebrae====
Choosing a strategic choke point point that his opponent will without a doubt move around, near, past or by, Etah stands unseen using any combination of Cloak, Twilight and Blackness. He waits until they are either within striking distance to attack, or using Burst of Speed or Equite Speed, are within a few large steps. The ambush is sudden, swift, aggressive and powerful. The idea is the defeat them quickly.

====Mindtweak====
Using the Obelisk ability Alter Image, Etah assumes the visage of the person he is fighting and using his mastery of the Tu'rek fighting style, he perfectly mirrors the person and adapts movement and technique similar to them. This tactic is guaranteed to make a person at least uneasy and has the potential to throw them off their game quite a bit.

====Stutter Steps/Stabs/Thrusts====
Etah likes to move into a lightsaber stab, chop or wrap and pause momentarily, drastically increasing the speed of the shot once he resumes movement. He can do so using just his high levels of agility or he can augment his agility with Enhance Ability or his speed with Burst of Speed or Equite Speed. This works well, with his mastery of the stava fighting style and has the benefit of sometimes fooling Precognition or Dodge.

===Hand-to-Hand Combat===
====Stava====
Etah began learning the Stava fighting style from Sashar and then later spent time on Honoghr learning to master Stava from the Noghri themselves. Stava's reliance on attack as a defense and its quick and well placed strikes have worked their way into every facet of his fighting, from hand to hand to lightsaber fighting.
====Tu'rek====
Etah uses Tu'rek as a training method to study his opponents style of fighting and ascertain weaknesses. The swooper also uses Tu'rek in the Mindtweak fighting technique.
===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah blends the defensive benefits of Shien with the dueling supremacy of Soresu. Etah's overall style is offensive without leaving himself exposed which boils down to a system of aggressive perry and ripost.
====Primary Lightsaber Form: Soresu====
Since Etah prefers to fight a lightsaber wielding opponent using a lightsaber, he learned Soresu to specifically dominate in lightsaber fights. He began training in Soresu with his first master, Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana and achieved mastery under instruction from Sashar Erinos Arconae.
====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Shien====
Etah began learning Shien from Selene d'Tana who though his first mentor in the Dark Brotherhood and his first battle team leader, was not officially his mentor. Her exit from the Clan Arcona is one of the reasons he has yet to master this form.

{{Quote|Every drop of blood, every bitter tear, every bead of sweat. I LIVE FOR THIS!|[http://youtu.be/J_iXkX7psfM Darth Jasta]}}

Cop, spook, [[starwars:swooper|swooper]], enforcer, leg breaker, [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], [[Obelisk]], Mafioso, [[Equite]], [[Shadesworn]]. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason and definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

== Character History ==

===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_son_of_a_seventh_son Seventh Son of a Seventh Son] (13 BBY-2 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|A demon spawn. The child of a bastard son. Seven born of seven and the Seventh child fathered one. A soul black full of pain. Bodies in the field. Blood pourin' like rain|[http://youtu.be/lQSHJhxdb1U Darth Boondox]}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim_Territories|Outer Rim]], Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a [[starwars:Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems|Confederacy]] war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to [[starwars:Darth|Darth ]] [[starwars:Revan|Revan]]'s Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fought in the prize fighting circuit. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow [[starwars:Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]] veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (3-4 ABY/16-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and absolutely without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review circa 4 ABY}}

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:Imperial_Sector_Rangers|Imperial Sector Ranger]]'s. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the [[starwars:Empire|Empire]]. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperial service despite his [[starwars:Near_human|near-human]] heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the [[starwars:Imperial_Training_Center|Imperial Training Center]] on nearby [[starwars:Daluuj|Daluuj]].

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_entry dynamic and deliberate entry], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Operations_in_Urban_Terrain military operations in urban terrain]. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at most Sector Ranger skill sets.

The Mirialan's general instruction at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the [[starwars:Albanin_sector|Albanin sector]], which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his year and a half long assignment in the Albanin sector.

Etah's job as an Imperial Sector Ranger involved routine criminal instigation. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpena subpenas] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_(law) warrants], and he could search public and private property, seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as an Imperial Sector Ranger he personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people. He was successful because he was talented, secure in his authority and unhesitating in his duty. It was for these reasons, as well as his advanced training, that he was chosen to become a [[starwars:Special Enforcement Officer|Special Enforcement Officer]].

===Special Enforcement Officer (5-11 ABY/18-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Absolutely without fear to what should be the point of recklessness, but it always seems to work out for him|Passing comment from a coworker circa 8 ABY}}

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

Around this time, the Empire was crumbling, even in the Outer Rim, and Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]], the Agency that was assuming the assets and role of the Imperial Sector Rangers. Etah was transferred to the Security Force Office on [[starwars:Myomar|Myomar]] in the [[starwars:Celanon Spur|Celanon Spur]] and was appointed as Special Enforcement Officer. He was chosen for his training, his natural ability and so he could be sent undercover in circles that would be hostile to humans.

In the next three years Etah pursued and arrested dozens of high profile and dangerous criminals. [[starwars:pirate|pirates]], [[starwars:slavery|slavers]], [[starwars:assassin|assassins]], [[starwars:crime lord|Mob enforcers]], [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunters]], Etah tracked them down. He infiltrated their homes, their fortresses, their [[starwars:skyhook|skyhooks]] and their ships. He chased them from the Outer-Rim, beyond [[starwars:wild space|wild space]] and as far as the [[starwars:core worlds|core worlds]] and the [[starwars:deep core|deep core]]. No matter what it took, he killed or captured them all. Of course, he had the resources of the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]] to assist him.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go undercover, sometimes for months at a time. His last assignment was to expose and dismantle a powerful [[starwars:black market|black market]] centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw [[starwars:Swoop gang|swoop club]] called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/25-35 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The floodgates of the Damned shall crash and burn once again. Down, Down, Down, Forever Down|[http://youtu.be/m1AuFEawM9c Darth Wylde]}}

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the [[starwars:Corporate_Sector|Corporate Sector]]. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling [[starwars:spice|spice]] to this Black Market.

[[File:EtahAdult6.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire and the New Republic never really offered him. During the first year he was with the Damned Swoop Club, he was still working as an undercover Special Enforcement Officer. But during that year he made no arrests as doing so would compromise his cover. During the wrap up of the Operation, a dozen members of the Damned were arrested by the local [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]] despite Etah's insistence at their immunity.

With his contract coming to an end, Etah was supposed to be transferred. But instead, he quit or rather, simply failed to sign a new contract which resulted in his separation from service. The Damned accepted the explanation that he had no say in the arrests and he earned his patch by freeing eight of the twelve members of the Club that had been arrested from their prison facilities. He knew ins and outs of the former Sector Ranger facilities, infiltrated them and freed his Club mates.

Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His talent, a holdover from his says as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. Compelling their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterintelligence counterintelligence] role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life, was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off [[starwars:Twi'lek|Twi'lek]] slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/36 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I drink a lotta whiskey, smokin all the timeI'm gettin fucked up every god damn night. Everybody's doin cocaine and startin up fights and I'm livin fast and hard and dyin hard with my god damn. Loaded fists of fury, doin what I do.|[http://youtu.be/escWLa1MvkQ Darth III]}}

[[File:EtahAdult5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah not long after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the [[Tana_Incorporated|Tana Consortium]]. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized the gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching [[starwars:Nar Shadda|Nar Shadda]] at its farthest. Which at the time, relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. All that was to change with their product going galactic.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed [[starwars:Force-sensitive|force sensitivity]] within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering laundered] back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/37 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood. Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy|[http://youtu.be/BNUEhLavV2k Darth Araya]}}

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, [[Proconsul]] of [[Arcona]] at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young [[Guardian]] Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]]. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would later be given the opportunity to serve as [[Aedile]] of the [[House Galeres]].

===Tomb of Doom and Ascension to Knighthood (25 ABY/38 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down And It All Goes Wrong Again|[http://youtu.be/EdQjqY9JDmI Darth Alexakis]}}

[[File:EtahBiker2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah around the time of his knighting]]

Over the next year Etah commanded his Battle Team. In this role he led some of the most talented people in the Brotherhood including former and future [[Consul]] [[Mejas Doto]] and future [[Seneschal]] [[Orv Dessrx d'Tana]]. Toward the end of his tenure as Battle Team Leader, his Master Psyko d'Tana, sent him on a special mission. Etah traveled to [[starwars:Honoghr|Honoghr]] where his mission was to obtain [[starwars:lightsaber crystal|lightsaber crystals]] used by Darth Sogr of the [[starwars:Noghri|Noghri]] Kagh'jah Clan, who was commandant of the [[starwars:Sith academy of Honoghr|Sith academy of Honoghr]] during the New Sith Wars [[starwars:New Sith Wars|New Sith Wars]].

Etah obtained the lightsaber crystals but was injured when Sogr’s crypt crashed into itself, which also destroyed his transportation. He was saved and tended too by local Noghri and was eventually accepted into the local Noghri clan. Etah having constructed his first lightsaber, destroyed a beast of unknown and perhaps supernatural origins called the Demurgima. Only after this rather dramatic climax, did Arconan forces sent by Selene d’Tana retrieve him from the rural planet.

===Becoming a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_man Made man] and Crying in the Dark (26 ABY/39 yrs old)===
{{Quote|[[starwars:Corellian_whiskey|Whiskey]] river take my mind. Don't let her memory torture me. Whiskey river don't run dry, your all I got take care of me.|[http://youtu.be/-ZQBm2aUpEw Darth Willie]}}

After returning from Honoghr and shortly before officially being promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], the [[d'Tana]] family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named [[Rho]], were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men, Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family that were under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, he choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, as a front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

===Dark Times (27 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|That's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement|[http://youtu.be/XSbZidsgMfw Darth Creator]}}

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as [[Quaestor]] to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short while.

[[File:EtahBiker4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah contemplating amidst the darkness]]

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|8th Great Jedi War]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Questor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Questor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediatly followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events, caused a rift between Etah and much of the rest of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY/42 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be...me|[http://youtu.be/WziA88-n02k Darth Matchbox]}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar even then. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's dissident activity and planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Questors of both houses for various reasons. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Questorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/43 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt it's fleet. It decided the propper time to return to [[Antei]] and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In it's place however, was a crackpot [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named [[Omancor Crask]], leading a band of anacronistic [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi's]] that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and thier metal golems. [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]] killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reocupying the system. Upon returning to [[Dajorra]], the Garconan spice viens were found to be dried up. The future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprentichip to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elivated to [[Krath Archpriest]]. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Questor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order.

Etah's tenure as Questor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===Watcher of Arcona (32-34 ABY/45-47 years old)===
{{Quote|On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down|[http://youtu.be/se4fhy5eg6o Darth Cash]}}

Following his time as Questor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during [[starwars:Vongforming|Vongforming]] of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to [[starwars:Kessel|Kessel]], located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its scary [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] from [[Sith]] Incursion.

[[File:EtahAdult1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah celebrating Arcona's victory]]

===A Legacy of Excellence (35 ABY/48 yrs old)===
{{Quote|After we won the last Great Jedi War I announced to the House Galeres, that we had witnessed the Twilight of Taldryan Dominance and the Dawn of Arconan Supremacy. Moving forward, we have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence|Etah in a communique to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the families finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication, a call to invade [[New Tython]] came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in per-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reenforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.

==Appearance==
[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]][[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg |thumb|right|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]
Etah stands at just over six foot tall. Though his shoulders appears broad and his chest seems wide, he has a much more athletic figure than you would first imagine, a trait of his rather lithe species. He has repeating geometric patterns down both cheeks, also a trait of his culture. Each small diamond inscribed on his face marks a kill. His mustache, beard and long hair, along with his demeanor and manner of dress, give the impression that he is something of a brute, this is an intentional misdirection.

===Leathers===
Etah generally wears his swoop riding leathers for all but formal occasions. The outfit includes leather boots, leather chaps, a leather vest, a leather jacket, jeans and a tee-shirt. He likes the look and feel of the leathers and he enjoys the outfits connection to swoop culture and its inherent violence, which can have the side affect of intimidation. The leathers are also functional, keeping the hot swoop from burning his skin and keeping his skin intact should he crash his swoop and skid along the cement.

===Robes===
Like most of Arcona's Equites Etah generally wears the formal robes of the Shadesworn Cult. But even then he generally wears them over his riding leathers.

===Armor===
When Etah is training or on a mission with the Soulfire Strike Team. he wears the Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit that they all do.

==Psychological Profile==
There are two Etah's: one is the professional operator that he has to be and the other is the loud, obnoxious, cocky, but lovable SOB that he really is. His overly confident swagger sometimes makes for a rocky first impression, but his sheer competence generally assures a great second impression. Etah is nice to those he doesn't know, unless he takes a disliking to them. He is very nice to those he considers enemies and ironically enough, jokingly mean to those he considers friends. Threats are below him, he would rather meet others threats with action.
Etah doesn't possess a traditional sense of morals but instead lives by his own creed. His personal creed favors his comrades and is a little looser on practices that many people would consider wrong like theft, murder and other things that somehow benefit him in survival, attaining a mission objective or profit. When a given situation has to do with survival, Etah is primordially instinctual. If a given situation has to do with attaining a mission objective, he is focused like a laser but if it has to do with profit, he is his own gregarious self.

==Combat==
===The Force===
====Aggressive Negotiations====
When fighting a force sensitive opponent Etah likes to use Suppression to lower their force defense and then throughout the fight, he weaves in Drain will and Dark Side Snare to destroy their will and means to fight respectively. These three force abilities on any one person, drastically reduce their ability to fight at Etah's level.

====Cowboy Diplomacy====
Never bothering to train in grenades and other thrown weaponry until after he joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Etah instead uses grenades and some types of mines with either a precise application of Telekinesis or by Force Pushing the grenades very quickly. He often uses this technique in combination with other tactics such as blaster fire or lightsaber combat.

====Force Wraiths====
Like most Arconan's, Force Wraith's are his signature force ability. The causal observer notes, his largest wraith is a flying dragon followed by a large wolf of some type and the trio is rounded out by some sort of rabid hunting dog. Even when not actively using them, Etah likes to arrange the Force Wraiths, behind and to the side of any person or group he is fighting. It keeps them off guard and makes them feel vulnerable.

[[File:SBehemoth.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Behemoth]]
=====Behemoth=====
Standing at one and one quarter meters tall and nearly three meters long, the Behemoth is a very large shadowy canine creature. It is very powerful and agile and it moves very quickly. Its powerful jaws contain razor sharp teeth and its paws are framed by disproportionately large claws. If acting without command from Etah, Behemoth is very protective of Etah and the other Force Wraiths.

[[File:SLeviathan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Leviathan]]
=====Leviathan=====
Five meters long, including its tail, this force wraith can sit three meters tall when on its hind legs. Like any good demon dragon it has horns, a mouthful of jagged teeth, very large and sharp claws on its front and back feet. The Leviathan is Etah's throne and he rides upon the dragons back as it takes flight and often closes with his opponent, with a quick leap from it's back. If acting without command from Etah, Leviathan aggressively attacks his opponents.

[[File:SStava.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Stava]]
=====Stava=====
When not in combat Stava generally sits near Etah and he's probably Etah's favorite force Wraith. He tends to treat Stava like a pet dog. Looking very much like a large and demonic version of a stava, this force wraith is one meter long and a half meter tall. If in combat and acting without command from Etah, Stava chooses either Behemoth or Leviathan to assist
and then attacks Etah's enemies recklessly and aggressively.

====Tenebrae====
Choosing a strategic choke point point that his opponent will without a doubt move around, near, past or by, Etah stands unseen using any combination of Cloak, Twilight and Blackness. He waits until they are either within striking distance to attack, or using Burst of Speed or Equite Speed, are within a few large steps. The ambush is sudden, swift, aggressive and powerful. The idea is the defeat them quickly.

====Mindtweak====
Using the Obelisk ability Alter Image, Etah assumes the visage of the person he is fighting and using his mastery of the Tu'rek fighting style, he perfectly mirrors the person and adapts movement and technique similar to them. This tactic is guaranteed to make a person at least uneasy and has the potential to throw them off their game quite a bit.

====Stutter Steps/Stabs/Thrusts====
Etah likes to move into a lightsaber stab, chop or wrap and pause momentarily, drastically increasing the speed of the shot once he resumes movement. He can do so using just his high levels of agility or he can augment his agility with Enhance Ability or his speed with Burst of Speed or Equite Speed. This works well, with his mastery of the stava fighting style and has the benefit of sometimes fooling Precognition or Dodge.

===Hand-to-Hand Combat===
====Stava====
Etah began learning the Stava fighting style from Sashar and then later spent time on Honoghr learning to master Stava from the Noghri themselves. Stava's reliance on attack as a defense and its quick and well placed strikes have worked their way into every facet of his fighting, from hand to hand to lightsaber fighting.
====Tu'rek====
Etah uses Tu'rek as a training method to study his opponents style of fighting and ascertain weaknesses. The swooper also uses Tu'rek in the Mindtweak fighting technique.
===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah blends the defensive benefits of Shien with the dueling supremacy of Soresu. Etah's overall style is offensive without leaving himself exposed which boils down to a system of aggressive perry and ripost.
====Primary Lightsaber Form: Soresu====
Since Etah prefers to fight a lightsaber wielding opponent using a lightsaber, he learned Soresu to specifically dominate in lightsaber fights. He began training in Soresu with his first master, Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana and achieved mastery under instruction from Sashar Erinos Arconae.
====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Shien====
Etah began learning Shien from Selene d'Tana who though his first mentor in the Dark Brotherhood and his first battle team leader, was not officially his mentor. Her exit from the Clan Arcona is one of the reasons he has yet to master this form.

{{Quote|Every drop of blood, every bitter tear, every bead of sweat. I LIVE FOR THIS!|[http://youtu.be/J_iXkX7psfM Darth Jasta]}}

Cop, spook, [[starwars:swooper|swooper]], enforcer, leg breaker, [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]], [[Obelisk]], Mafioso, [[Equite]], [[Shadesworn]]. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason and definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

== Character History ==

===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_son_of_a_seventh_son Seventh Son of a Seventh Son] (13 BBY-2 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|A demon spawn. The child of a bastard son. Seven born of seven and the Seventh child fathered one. A soul black full of pain. Bodies in the field. Blood pourin' like rain|[http://youtu.be/lQSHJhxdb1U Darth Boondox]}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Outer_Rim_Territories|Outer Rim]], Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems|Confederacy]] war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to [[starwars:Darth|Darth]][[starwars:Revan|Revan]]'s Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fought in the prize fighting circuit. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars|Clone Wars]] veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (3-4 ABY/16-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and absolutely without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review circa 4 ABY}}

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Sector_Rangers|Imperial Sector Ranger]]'s. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Empire|Empire]]. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperial service despite his [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Near_human|near-human]] heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Training_Center|Imperial Training Center]] on nearby [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Daluuj|Daluuj]].

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_entry dynamic and deliberate entry], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Operations_in_Urban_Terrain military operations in urban terrain]. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at most Sector Ranger skill sets.

The Mirialan's general instruction at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the [[starwars:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Albanin_sector|Albanin sector]], which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his year and a half long assignment in the Albanin sector.

Etah's job as an Imperial Sector Ranger involved routine criminal instigation. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpena subpenas] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_(law) warrants], and he could search public and private property, seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as an Imperial Sector Ranger he personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people. He was successful because he was talented, secure in his authority and unhesitating in his duty. It was for these reasons, as well as his advanced training, that he was chosen to become a [[starwars:Special Enforcement Officer|Special Enforcement Officer]].

===Special Enforcement Officer (5-11 ABY/18-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Absolutely without fear to what should be the point of recklessness, but it always seems to work out for him|Passing comment from a coworker circa 8 ABY}}

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

Around this time, the Empire was crumbling, even in the Outer Rim, and Etah was recruited into the [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]], the Agency that was assuming the assets and role of the Imperial Sector Rangers. Etah was transferred to the Security Force Office on [[starwars:Myomar|Myomar]] in the [[starwars:Celanon Spur|Celanon Spur]] and was appointed as Special Enforcement Officer. He was chosen for his training, his natural ability and so he could be sent undercover in circles that would be hostile to humans.

In the next three years Etah pursued and arrested dozens of high profile and dangerous criminals. [[starwars:pirate|pirates]], [[starwars:slavery|slavers]], [[starwars:assassin|assassins]], [[starwars:crime lord|Mob enforcers]], [[starwars:bounty hunter|bounty hunters]], Etah tracked them down. He infiltrated their homes, their fortresses, their [[starwars:skyhook|skyhooks]] and their ships. He chased them from the Outer-Rim, beyond [[starwars:wild space|wild space]] and as far as the [[starwars:core worlds|core worlds]] and the [[starwars:deep core|deep core]]. No matter what it took, he killed or captured them all. Of course, he had the resources of the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic}} to assist him.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go undercover, sometimes for months at a time. His last assignment was to expose and dismantle a powerful [[starwars:black market|black market]] centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw [[starwars:Swoop gang|swoop club]] called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/25-35 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The floodgates of the Damned shall crash and burn once again. Down, Down, Down, Forever Down|[http://youtu.be/m1AuFEawM9c Darth Wylde]}}

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the [[Corporate Sector|Corporate Sector]]. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling [[starwars:spice|spice]] to this Black Market.

[[File:EtahAdult6.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire and the New Republic never really offered him. During the first year he was with the Damned Swoop Club, he was still working as an undercover Special Enforcement Officer. But during that year he made no arrests as doing so would compromise his cover. During the wrap up of the Operation, a dozen members of the Damned were arrested by the local [[starwars:New Republic Security Force|New Republic Security Force]] despite Etah's insistence at their immunity.

With his contract coming to an end, Etah was supposed to be transferred. But instead, he quit or rather, simply failed to sign a new contract which resulted in his separation from service. The Damned accepted the explanation that he had no say in the arrests and he earned his patch by freeing eight of the twelve members of the Club that had been arrested from their prison facilities. He knew ins and outs of the former Sector Ranger facilities, infiltrated them and freed his Club mates.

Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His talent, a holdover from his says as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. Compelling their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterintelligence counterintelligence] role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life, was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off [starwars:Twi'lek|Twi'lek]] slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/36 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I drink a lotta whiskey, smokin all the timeI'm gettin fucked up every god damn night. Everybody's doin cocaine and startin up fights and I'm livin fast and hard and dyin hard with my god damn. Loaded fists of fury, doin what I do.|[http://youtu.be/escWLa1MvkQ Darth III]}}

[[File:EtahAdult5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah not long after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the [[Tana_Incorporated|Tana Consortium]]. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized the gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching [[starwars:Nar Shadda|Nar Shadda]] at its farthest. Which at the time, relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. All that was to change with their product going galactic.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed [[starwars:Force-sensitive|force sensitivity]] within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering laundered] back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/37 yrs old)===

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the [[Soulfire Strike Team]] by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. [[Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana]] Arconae, [[Proconsul]] of [[Arcona]] at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young [[Guardian]] Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as [[Tetrarch]], a [[Krath]] [[Battle Team]] in the [[House Galeres]]. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would later be given the opportunity to serve as [[Aedile]] of the [[House Galeres]].

[[File:EtahBiker2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah around the time of his knighting]]

Over the next year Etah commanded his Battle Team. In this role he led some of the most talented people in the Brotherhood including former and future [[Consul]] [[Mejas Doto]] and future [[Seneschal]] [[Orv Dessrx d'Tana]]. Toward the end of his tenure as Battle Team Leader, his Master Psyko d'Tana, sent him on a special mission. Etah traveled to [[starwars:Honoghr|Honoghr]] where his mission was to obtain [[starwars:lightsaber crystal|lightsaber crystals]] used by Darth Sogr of the [[star wars:Noghri|Noghri]] Kagh'jah Clan, who was commandant of the [[starwars:Sith academy of Honoghr|Sith academy of Honoghr]] during the New Sith Wars [[starwars:New Sith Wars|New Sith Wars]].

Etah obtained the lightsaber crystals but was injured when Sogr’s crypt crashed into itself, which also destroyed his transportation. He was saved and tended too by local Noghri and was eventually accepted into the local Noghri clan. Etah having constructed his first lightsaber, destroyed a beast of unknown and perhaps supernatural origins called the Demurgima. Only after this rather dramatic climax, did Arconan forces sent by Selene d’Tana retrieve him from the rural planet.

===Becoming a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_man Made man] and Crying in the Dark (26 ABY/yrs old)===
{{Quote|[[starwars:Corellian_whiskey|Whiskey]] river take my mind. Don't let her memory torture me. Whiskey river don't run dry, your all I got take care of me.|[http://youtu.be/-ZQBm2aUpEw Darth Willie]}}

After returning from Honoghr and shortly before officially being promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]], the [[d'Tana]] family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named [[Rho]], were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men, Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family that were under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at [[Jedi Hunter]].

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, he choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, as a front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

===Dark Times (27 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|That's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement|[http://youtu.be/XSbZidsgMfw Darth Creator]}}

Following the [[Rite of Supremacy]] “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as [[Quaestor
]] to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency|Arconan Intelligence]] Service, [[Zandro Savric Erinos|Zandro Erinos]] was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremacy’s awards ceremony, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of [[Sukhur]]. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short while.

[[File:EtahBiker4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah contemplating amidst the darkness]]

For his leadership in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|8th Great Jedi War]], Etah was recognized by the [[Dark Council]] and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of [[Obelisk Templar]]. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the resurrection of the [[House Qel-Droma]] from the ashes of the [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Questor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, [[Xander Drax]] was placed as Questor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediatly followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events, caused a rift between Etah and much of the rest of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY/42 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be...me|[http://youtu.be/WziA88-n02k Darth Matchbox]}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar even then. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's dissident activity and planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Questors of both houses for various reasons. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Questorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/43 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt it's fleet. It decided the propper time to return to [[Antei]] and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In it's place however, was a crackpot [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named [[Omancor Crask]], leading a band of anacronistic [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi's]] that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and thier metal golems. [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]] killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reocupying the system. Upon returning to [[Dajorra]], the Garconan spice viens were found to be dried up. The future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprentichip to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elivated to [[Krath Archpriest]]. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Questor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order.

Etah's tenure as Questor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, [[Braecen Kaeth]].

===Watcher of Arcona (32-34 ABY/45-47 years old)===
{{Quote|On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down|[http://youtu.be/se4fhy5eg6o Darth Cash]}}

Following his time as Questor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during [[starwars:Vongforming|Vongforming]] of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to [[starwars:Kessel|Kessel]], located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] leading military forces in an assault on [[Salas V]] and its scary [[starwars:Killik|Killik]] inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the [[Antei#The_Temple_Boyna|Temple Boyna]] from [[Sith]] Incursion.

[[File:EtahAdult1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah celebrating Arcona's victory]]

===A Legacy of Excellence (35 ABY/48 yrs old)===
{{Quote|After we won the last Great Jedi War I announced to the House Galeres, that we had witnessed the Twilight of Taldryan Dominance and the Dawn of Arconan Supremacy. Moving forward, we have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence|Etah in a communique to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the families finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication, a call to invade [[New Tython]] came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in per-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared [[Menat Ombo]], which kept the Jedi from being reenforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.

==Appearance==
[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]][[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg |thumb|right|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]
Etah stands at just over six foot tall. Though his shoulders appears broad and his chest seems wide, he has a much more athletic figure than you would first imagine, a trait of his rather lithe species. He has repeating geometric patterns down both cheeks, also a trait of his culture. Each small diamond inscribed on his face marks a kill. His mustache, beard and long hair, along with his demeanor and manner of dress, give the impression that he is something of a brute, this is an intentional misdirection.

===Leathers===
Etah generally wears his swoop riding leathers for all but formal occasions. The outfit includes leather boots, leather chaps, a leather vest, a leather jacket, jeans and a tee-shirt. He likes the look and feel of the leathers and he enjoys the outfits connection to swoop culture and its inherent violence, which can have the side affect of intimidation. The leathers are also functional, keeping the hot swoop from burning his skin and keeping his skin intact should he crash his swoop and skid along the cement.

===Robes===
Like most of Arcona's Equites Etah generally wears the formal robes of the Shadesworn Cult. But even then he generally wears them over his riding leathers.

===Armor===
When Etah is training or on a mission with the Soulfire Strike Team. he wears the Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit that they all do.

==Psychological Profile==
There are two Etah's: one is the professional operator that he has to be and the other is the loud, obnoxious, cocky, but lovable SOB that he really is. His overly confident swagger sometimes makes for a rocky first impression, but his sheer competence generally assures a great second impression. Etah is nice to those he doesn't know, unless he takes a disliking to them. He is very nice to those he considers enemies and ironically enough, jokingly mean to those he considers friends. Threats are below him, he would rather meet others threats with action.
Etah doesn't possess a traditional sense of morals but instead lives by his own creed. His personal creed favors his comrades and is a little looser on practices that many people would consider wrong like theft, murder and other things that somehow benefit him in survival, attaining a mission objective or profit. When a given situation has to do with survival, Etah is primordially instinctual. If a given situation has to do with attaining a mission objective, he is focused like a laser but if it has to do with profit, he is his own gregarious self.

==Combat==
===The Force===
====Aggressive Negotiations====
When fighting a force sensitive opponent Etah likes to use Suppression to lower their force defense and then throughout the fight, he weaves in Drain will and Dark Side Snare to destroy their will and means to fight respectively. These three force abilities on any one person, drastically reduce their ability to fight at Etah's level.

====Cowboy Diplomacy====
Never bothering to train in grenades and other thrown weaponry until after he joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Etah instead uses grenades and some types of mines with either a precise application of Telekinesis or by Force Pushing the grenades very quickly. He often uses this technique in combination with other tactics such as blaster fire or lightsaber combat.

====Force Wraiths====
Like most Arconan's, Force Wraith's are his signature force ability. The causal observer notes, his largest wraith is a flying dragon followed by a large wolf of some type and the trio is rounded out by some sort of rabid hunting dog. Even when not actively using them, Etah likes to arrange the Force Wraiths, behind and to the side of any person or group he is fighting. It keeps them off guard and makes them feel vulnerable.

[[File:SBehemoth.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Behemoth]]
=====Behemoth=====
Standing at one and one quarter meters tall and nearly three meters long, the Behemoth is a very large shadowy canine creature. It is very powerful and agile and it moves very quickly. Its powerful jaws contain razor sharp teeth and its paws are framed by disproportionately large claws. If acting without command from Etah, Behemoth is very protective of Etah and the other Force Wraiths.

[[File:SLeviathan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Leviathan]]
=====Leviathan=====
Five meters long, including its tail, this force wraith can sit three meters tall when on its hind legs. Like any good demon dragon it has horns, a mouthful of jagged teeth, very large and sharp claws on its front and back feet. The Leviathan is Etah's throne and he rides upon the dragons back as it takes flight and often closes with his opponent, with a quick leap from it's back. If acting without command from Etah, Leviathan aggressively attacks his opponents.

[[File:SStava.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Stava]]
=====Stava=====
When not in combat Stava generally sits near Etah and he's probably Etah's favorite force Wraith. He tends to treat Stava like a pet dog. Looking very much like a large and demonic version of a stava, this force wraith is one meter long and a half meter tall. If in combat and acting without command from Etah, Stava chooses either Behemoth or Leviathan to assist
and then attacks Etah's enemies recklessly and aggressively.

====Tenebrae====
Choosing a strategic choke point point that his opponent will without a doubt move around, near, past or by, Etah stands unseen using any combination of Cloak, Twilight and Blackness. He waits until they are either within striking distance to attack, or using Burst of Speed or Equite Speed, are within a few large steps. The ambush is sudden, swift, aggressive and powerful. The idea is the defeat them quickly.

====Mindtweak====
Using the Obelisk ability Alter Image, Etah assumes the visage of the person he is fighting and using his mastery of the Tu'rek fighting style, he perfectly mirrors the person and adapts movement and technique similar to them. This tactic is guaranteed to make a person at least uneasy and has the potential to throw them off their game quite a bit.

====Stutter Steps/Stabs/Thrusts====
Etah likes to move into a lightsaber stab, chop or wrap and pause momentarily, drastically increasing the speed of the shot once he resumes movement. He can do so using just his high levels of agility or he can augment his agility with Enhance Ability or his speed with Burst of Speed or Equite Speed. This works well, with his mastery of the stava fighting style and has the benefit of sometimes fooling Precognition or Dodge.

===Hand-to-Hand Combat===
====Stava====
Etah began learning the Stava fighting style from Sashar and then later spent time on Honoghr learning to master Stava from the Noghri themselves. Stava's reliance on attack as a defense and its quick and well placed strikes have worked their way into every facet of his fighting, from hand to hand to lightsaber fighting.
====Tu'rek====
Etah uses Tu'rek as a training method to study his opponents style of fighting and ascertain weaknesses. The swooper also uses Tu'rek in the Mindtweak fighting technique.
===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah blends the defensive benefits of Shien with the dueling supremacy of Soresu. Etah's overall style is offensive without leaving himself exposed which boils down to a system of aggressive perry and ripost.
====Primary Lightsaber Form: Soresu====
Since Etah prefers to fight a lightsaber wielding opponent using a lightsaber, he learned Soresu to specifically dominate in lightsaber fights. He began training in Soresu with his first master, Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana and achieved mastery under instruction from Sashar Erinos Arconae.
====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Shien====
Etah began learning Shien from Selene d'Tana who though his first mentor in the Dark Brotherhood and his first battle team leader, was not officially his mentor. Her exit from the Clan Arcona is one of the reasons he has yet to master this form.

{{Quote|Every drop of blood, every bitter tear, every bead of sweat. I LIVE FOR THIS!|[http://youtu.be/J_iXkX7psfM Darth Jasta]}}

Cop, spook, swooper, enforcer, leg breaker, Dark Jedi, Obelisk, Mafioso, Equite, Shadesworn. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason and definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

== Character History ==

===Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (13 BBY-2 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|A demon spawn. The child of a bastard son. Seven born of seven and the Seventh child fathered one. A soul black full of pain. Bodies in the field. Blood pourin' like rain|[http://youtu.be/lQSHJhxdb1U Darth Boondox]}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the Outer Rim, Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a Confederacy war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to Darth Revan's Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fought in the prize fighting circuit. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow Clone War veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (3-4 ABY/16-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and absolutely without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review circa 4 ABY}}

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the Imperial Sector Ranger's. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the Empire. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperil service despite his near-human heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the Imperial Training Center on nearby Daluuj.

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and dynamic and deliberate entry, military operations in urban terrain. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at most Sector Ranger skill sets.

The Mirialan's general instruction at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the Albanin sector, which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his year and a half long assignment in the Albanin sector.

Etah's job as an Imperial Sector Ranger involved routine criminal instigation. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue subpenas and warrants, and he could search public and private property, seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as an Imperial Sector Ranger he personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people. He was successful because he was talented, secure in his authority and unhesitating in his duty. It was for these reasons, as well as his advanced training, that he was chosen to become a Special Enforcement Officer.

===Special Enforcement Officer (5-11 ABY/18-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Absolutely without fear to what should be the point of recklessness, but it always seems to work out for him|Passing comment from a coworker circa 8 ABY}}

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

Around this time, the Empire was crumbling, even in the Outer Rim, and Etah was recruited into the New Republic Security Force, the Agency that was assuming the assets and role of the Imperial Sector Rangers. Etah was transferred to the Security Force Office on Myomar in the Celanon Spur and was appointed as Special Enforcement Officer. He was chosen for his training, his natural ability and so he could be sent undercover in circles that would be hostile to humans.

In the next three years Etah pursued and arrested dozens of high profile and dangerous criminals. Pirates, slavers, assassins, Mob enforcers, bounty hunters, Etah tracked them down. He infiltrated their homes, their fortresses, their sky-hooks and their ships. He chased them from the Outer-Rim, beyond wild space and as far as the core worlds and the deep core. No matter what it took, he killed or captured them all. Of course, he had the resources of the New Republic to assist him.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go undercover, sometimes for months at a time. His last assignment was to expose and dismantle a powerful black market centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw Swoop Club called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/25-35 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The floodgates of the Damned shall crash and burn once again. Down, Down, Down, Forever Down|[http://youtu.be/m1AuFEawM9c Darth Wylde]}}

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the Corporate Sector. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling spice to this Black Market.

[[File:EtahAdult6.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire and the New Republic never really offered him. During the first year he was with the Damned Swoop Club, he was still working as an undercover Special Enforcement Officer. But during that year he made no arrests as doing so would compromise his cover. During the wrap up of the Operation, a dozen members of the Damned were arrested by the local New Republic Security Force despite Etah's insistence at their Immunity.

With his first contract coming to an end, Etah was supposed to be transferred. But instead, he quit or rather, simply failed to sign a new contract which resulted in his separation from Service. The Damned accepted the explanation that he had no say in the arrests and he earned his patch by freeing eight of the twelve members of the Club that had been arrested from their prison facilities. He knew ins and outs of the former Sector Ranger facilities, infiltrated them and freed his Club mates.

Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His talent, a holdover from his says as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. Compelling their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented counterintelligence role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life, was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off Twi'lek slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/36 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I drink a lotta whiskey, smokin all the timeI'm gettin fucked up every god damn night. Everybody's doin cocaine and startin up fights and I'm livin fast and hard and dyin hard with my god damn. Loaded fists of fury, doin what I do.|[http://youtu.be/escWLa1MvkQ Darth III]}}

[[File:EtahAdult5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah not long after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the Tana Consortium. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized the gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching Nar Shadda at its farthest. Which at the time, relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. All that was to change with their product going galactic.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed force sensitivity within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned laundered back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/37 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood. Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy|[http://youtu.be/BNUEhLavV2k Darth Araya]}}

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the Soulfire Strike Team by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. Psyko d’Tana Arconae, Proconsul of Arcona at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young Guardian Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as Tetrarch, a Krath Battle Team in the House Galeres. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would later be given the opportunity to serve as Aedile of the House Galeres.

===Tomb of Doom and Ascension to Knighthood (25 ABY/38 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down And It All Goes Wrong Again|[http://youtu.be/EdQjqY9JDmI Darth Alexakis]}}

[[File:EtahBiker2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah around the time of his knighting]]

Over the next year Etah commanded his Battle Team. In this role he led some of the most talented people in the Brotherhood including former and future Consul Mejas Doto and future Dark Counselor Orv. Toward the end of his tenure as Battle Team Leader, his Master Psyko d'Tana, sent him on a special mission. Etah traveled to Honoghr where his mission was to obtain lightsaber crystals used by Darth Sogr of the Noghri Kagh'jah Clan, who was commandant of the Sith academy of Honoghr during the New Sith Wars.

Etah obtained the lightsaber crystals but was injured when Sogr’s crypt crashed into itself, which also destroyed his transportation. He was saved and tended too by local Noghri and was eventually accepted into the local Noghri clan. Etah having constructed his first lightsaber, destroyed a beast of unknown and perhaps supernatural origins called the Demurgima. Only after this rather dramatic climax, did Arconan forces sent by Selene d’Tana retrieve him from the rural planet.

===Becoming a Made man and Crying in the Dark (26 ABY/yrs old)===
{{Quote|[[starwars:Corellian_whiskey|Whiskey]] river take my mind. Don't let her memory torture me. Whiskey river don't run dry, your all I got take care of me.|[http://youtu.be/-ZQBm2aUpEw Darth Willie]}}

After returning from Honoghr and shortly before officially being promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, the d'Tana family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named Rho, were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men, Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family that were under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at Jedi Hunter.

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, he choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, as a front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

===Dark Times (27 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|That's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement|[http://youtu.be/XSbZidsgMfw Darth Creator]}}

Following the Rite of Supremacy “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as Questor to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the Arconan Intelligence Service, Zandro Erinos was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the Yuuzhan Vong chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremecies awards cerimoney, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of Sukhur. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short while.

[[File:EtahBiker4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah contemplating amidst the darkness]]

For his leadership in the 8th Great Jedi War, Etah was recognized by the Dark Council and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of Obelisk Templar. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the ressurection of the House Qel-Droma from the ashes of the House Orien's Obscurum and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Questor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, Xander Drax was placed as Questor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediatly followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events, caused a rift between Etah and much of the rest of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY/42 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be...me|[http://youtu.be/WziA88-n02k Darth Matchbox]}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar even then. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's dissident activity and planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Questors of both houses for various reasons. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Questorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/43 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt it's fleet. It decided the propper time to return to Antai and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In it's place however, was a crackpot Jedi Master named Omancor Crask, leading a band of anacronistic Jedi's that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and thier metal golems. Grand Master Aristan Dantes killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reocupying the system. Upon returning to Dajorra, the Garconan spice viens were found to be dried up. The future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprentichip to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elivated to Krath Archpriest. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Questor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order.

Etah's tenure as Questor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, Bracen Kunar.

===Watcher of Arcona (32-34 ABY/45-47 years old)===
{{Quote|On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down|[http://youtu.be/se4fhy5eg6o Darth Cash]}}

Following his time as Questor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during Vongforming of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to Kessel, located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the Arconan Expeditionary Force leading military forces in an assault on Salas V and its scary Killik inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the Temple Boyna from Sith Incursion.

[[File:EtahAdult1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah celebrating Arcona's victory]]

===A Legacy of Excellence (35 ABY/48 yrs old)===
{{Quote|After we won the last Great Jedi War I announced to the House Galeres, that we had witnessed the Twilight of Taldryan Dominance and the Dawn of Arconan Supremacy. Moving forward, we have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence|Etah in a communiqué to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the families finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication, a call to invade New Tython came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in per-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared Menat Ombo, which kept the Jedi from being reenforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.

==Appearance==
[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]][[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg |thumb|right|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]
Etah stands at just over six foot tall. Though his shoulders appears broad and his chest seems wide, he has a much more athletic figure than you would first imagine, a trait of his rather lithe species. He has repeating geometric patterns down both cheeks, also a trait of his culture. Each small diamond inscribed on his face marks a kill. His mustache, beard and long hair, along with his demeanor and manner of dress, give the impression that he is something of a brute, this is an intentional misdirection.

===Leathers===
Etah generally wears his swoop riding leathers for all but formal occasions. The outfit includes leather boots, leather chaps, a leather vest, a leather jacket, jeans and a tee-shirt. He likes the look and feel of the leathers and he enjoys the outfits connection to swoop culture and its inherent violence, which can have the side affect of intimidation. The leathers are also functional, keeping the hot swoop from burning his skin and keeping his skin intact should he crash his swoop and skid along the cement.

===Robes===
Like most of Arcona's Equites Etah generally wears the formal robes of the Shadesworn Cult. But even then he generally wears them over his riding leathers.

===Armor===
When Etah is training or on a mission with the Soulfire Strike Team. he wears the Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit that they all do.

==Psychological Profile==
There are two Etah's: one is the professional operator that he has to be and the other is the loud, obnoxious, cocky, but lovable SOB that he really is. His overly confident swagger sometimes makes for a rocky first impression, but his sheer competence generally assures a great second impression. Etah is nice to those he doesn't know, unless he takes a disliking to them. He is very nice to those he considers enemies and ironically enough, jokingly mean to those he considers friends. Threats are below him, he would rather meet others threats with action.
Etah doesn't possess a traditional sense of morals but instead lives by his own creed. His personal creed favors his comrades and is a little looser on practices that many people would consider wrong like theft, murder and other things that somehow benefit him in survival, attaining a mission objective or profit. When a given situation has to do with survival, Etah is primordially instinctual. If a given situation has to do with attaining a mission objective, he is focused like a laser but if it has to do with profit, he is his own gregarious self.

==Combat==
===The Force===
====Aggressive Negotiations====
When fighting a force sensitive opponent Etah likes to use Suppression to lower their force defense and then throughout the fight, he weaves in Drain will and Dark Side Snare to destroy their will and means to fight respectively. These three force abilities on any one person, drastically reduce their ability to fight at Etah's level.

====Cowboy Diplomacy====
Never bothering to train in grenades and other thrown weaponry until after he joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Etah instead uses grenades and some types of mines with either a precise application of Telekinesis or by Force Pushing the grenades very quickly. He often uses this technique in combination with other tactics such as blaster fire or lightsaber combat.

====Force Wraiths====
Like most Arconan's, Force Wraith's are his signature force ability. The causal observer notes, his largest wraith is a flying dragon followed by a large wolf of some type and the trio is rounded out by some sort of rabid hunting dog. Even when not actively using them, Etah likes to arrange the Force Wraiths, behind and to the side of any person or group he is fighting. It keeps them off guard and makes them feel vulnerable.

[[File:SBehemoth.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Behemoth]]
=====Behemoth=====
Standing at one and one quarter meters tall and nearly three meters long, the Behemoth is a very large shadowy canine creature. It is very powerful and agile and it moves very quickly. Its powerful jaws contain razor sharp teeth and its paws are framed by disproportionately large claws. If acting without command from Etah, Behemoth is very protective of Etah and the other Force Wraiths.

[[File:SLeviathan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Leviathan]]
=====Leviathan=====
Five meters long, including its tail, this force wraith can sit three meters tall when on its hind legs. Like any good demon dragon it has horns, a mouthful of jagged teeth, very large and sharp claws on its front and back feet. The Leviathan is Etah's throne and he rides upon the dragons back as it takes flight and often closes with his opponent, with a quick leap from it's back. If acting without command from Etah, Leviathan aggressively attacks his opponents.

[[File:SStava.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Stava]]
=====Stava=====
When not in combat Stava generally sits near Etah and he's probably Etah's favorite force Wraith. He tends to treat Stava like a pet dog. Looking very much like a large and demonic version of a stava, this force wraith is one meter long and a half meter tall. If in combat and acting without command from Etah, Stava chooses either Behemoth or Leviathan to assist
and then attacks Etah's enemies recklessly and aggressively.

====Tenebrae====
Choosing a strategic choke point point that his opponent will without a doubt move around, near, past or by, Etah stands unseen using any combination of Cloak, Twilight and Blackness. He waits until they are either within striking distance to attack, or using Burst of Speed or Equite Speed, are within a few large steps. The ambush is sudden, swift, aggressive and powerful. The idea is the defeat them quickly.

====Mindtweak====
Using the Obelisk ability Alter Image, Etah assumes the visage of the person he is fighting and using his mastery of the Tu'rek fighting style, he perfectly mirrors the person and adapts movement and technique similar to them. This tactic is guaranteed to make a person at least uneasy and has the potential to throw them off their game quite a bit.

====Stutter Steps/Stabs/Thrusts====
Etah likes to move into a lightsaber stab, chop or wrap and pause momentarily, drastically increasing the speed of the shot once he resumes movement. He can do so using just his high levels of agility or he can augment his agility with Enhance Ability or his speed with Burst of Speed or Equite Speed. This works well, with his mastery of the stava fighting style and has the benefit of sometimes fooling Precognition or Dodge.

===Hand-to-Hand Combat===
====Stava====
Etah began learning the Stava fighting style from Sashar and then later spent time on Honoghr learning to master Stava from the Noghri themselves. Stava's reliance on attack as a defense and its quick and well placed strikes have worked their way into every facet of his fighting, from hand to hand to lightsaber fighting.
====Tu'rek====
Etah uses Tu'rek as a training method to study his opponents style of fighting and ascertain weaknesses. The swooper also uses Tu'rek in the Mindtweak fighting technique.
===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah blends the defensive benefits of Shien with the dueling supremacy of Soresu. Etah's overall style is offensive without leaving himself exposed which boils down to a system of aggressive perry and ripost.
====Primary Lightsaber Form: Soresu====
Since Etah prefers to fight a lightsaber wielding opponent using a lightsaber, he learned Soresu to specifically dominate in lightsaber fights. He began training in Soresu with his first master, Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana and achieved mastery under instruction from Sashar Erinos Arconae.
====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Shien====
Etah began learning Shien from Selene d'Tana who though his first mentor in the Dark Brotherhood and his first battle team leader, was not officially his mentor. Her exit from the Clan Arcona is one of the reasons he has yet to master this form.

{{Quote|Every drop of blood, every bitter tear, every bead of sweat. I LIVE FOR THIS!|[http://youtu.be/J_iXkX7psfM Darth Jasta]}}

Cop, spook, swooper, enforcer, leg breaker, Dark Jedi, Obelisk, Mafioso, Equite, Shadesworn. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason and definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

== Character History ==

===Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (13 BBY-2 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|A demon spawn. The child of a bastard son. Seven born of seven and the Seventh child fathered one. A soul black full of pain. Bodies in the field. Blood pourin' like rain|[http://youtu.be/lQSHJhxdb1U Darth Boondox]}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the Outer Rim, Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a Confederacy war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to Darth Revan's Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fought in the prize fighting circuit. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow Clone War veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (3-4 ABY/16-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and absolutely without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review circa 4 ABY}}

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the Imperial Sector Ranger's. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the Empire. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperil service despite his near-human heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the Imperial Training Center on nearby Daluuj.

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and dynamic and deliberate entry, military operations in urban terrain. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at most Sector Ranger skill sets.

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

The Mirialan's general instruction at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the Albanin sector, which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his year and a half long assignment in the Albanin sector.

Etah's job as an Imperial Sector Ranger involved routine criminal instigation. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue subpenas and warrants, and he could search public and private property, seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as an Imperial Sector Ranger he personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people. He was successful because he was talented, secure in his authority and unhesitating in his duty. It was for these reasons, as well as his advanced training, that he was chosen to become a Special Enforcement Officer.

===Special Enforcement Officer (5-11 ABY/18-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Absolutely without fear to what should be the point of recklessness, but it always seems to work out for him|Passing comment from a coworker circa 8 ABY}}

Around this time, the Empire was crumbling, even in the Outer Rim, and Etah was recruited into the New Republic Security Force, the Agency that was assuming the assets and role of the Imperial Sector Rangers. Etah was transferred to the Security Force Office on Myomar in the Celanon Spur and was appointed as Special Enforcement Officer. He was chosen for his training, his natural ability and so he could be sent undercover in circles that would be hostile to humans.

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

In the next three years Etah pursued and arrested dozens of high profile and dangerous criminals. Pirates, slavers, assassins, Mob enforcers, bounty hunters, Etah tracked them down. He infiltrated their homes, their fortresses, their sky-hooks and their ships. He chased them from the Outer-Rim, beyond wild space and as far as the core worlds and the deep core. No matter what it took, he killed or captured them all. Of course, he had the resources of the New Republic to assist him.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go undercover, sometimes for months at a time. His last assignment was to expose and dismantle a powerful black market centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw Swoop Club called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/25-35 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The floodgates of the Damned shall crash and burn once again. Down, Down, Down, Forever Down|[http://youtu.be/m1AuFEawM9c Darth Wylde]}}

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the Corporate Sector. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling spice to this Black Market.

[[File:EtahAdult1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire and the New Republic never really offered him. During the first year he was with the Damned Swoop Club, he was still working as an undercover Special Enforcement Officer. But during that year he made no arrests as doing so would compromise his cover. During the wrap up of the Operation, a dozen members of the Damned were arrested by the local New Republic Security Force despite Etah's insistence at their Immunity.

With his first contract coming to an end, Etah was supposed to be transferred. But instead, he quit or rather, simply failed to sign a new contract which resulted in his separation from Service. The Damned accepted the explanation that he had no say in the arrests and he earned his patch by freeing eight of the twelve members of the Club that had been arrested from their prison facilities. He knew ins and outs of the former Sector Ranger facilities, infiltrated them and freed his Club mates.

Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His talent, a holdover from his says as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. Compelling their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented counterintelligence role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life, was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off Twi'lek slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/36 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I drink a lotta whiskey, smokin all the timeI'm gettin fucked up every god damn night. Everybody's doin cocaine and startin up fights and I'm livin fast and hard and dyin hard with my god damn. Loaded fists of fury, doin what I do.|[http://youtu.be/escWLa1MvkQ Darth III]}}

[[File:EtahBiker2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the Tana Consortium. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized the gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching Nar Shadda at its farthest. Which at the time, relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. All that was to change with their product going galactic.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed force sensitivity within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned laundered back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/37 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood. Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy|[http://youtu.be/BNUEhLavV2k Darth Araya]}}

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the Soulfire Strike Team by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. Psyko d’Tana Arconae, Proconsul of Arcona at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young Guardian Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as Tetrarch, a Krath Battle Team in the House Galeres. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would later be given the opportunity to serve as Aedile of the House Galeres.

===Tomb of Doom and Ascension to Knighthood (25 ABY/38 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down And It All Goes Wrong Again|[http://youtu.be/EdQjqY9JDmI Darth Alexakis]}}

[[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg |thumb|left|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]

Over the next year Etah commanded his Battle Team. In this role he led some of the most talented people in the Brotherhood including former and future Consul Mejas Doto and future Dark Counselor Orv. Toward the end of his tenure as Battle Team Leader, his Master Psyko d'Tana, sent him on a special mission. Etah traveled to Honoghr where his mission was to obtain lightsaber crystals used by Darth Sogr of the Noghri Kagh'jah Clan, who was commandant of the Sith academy of Honoghr during the New Sith Wars.

Etah obtained the lightsaber crystals but was injured when Sogr’s crypt crashed into itself, which also destroyed his transportation. He was saved and tended too by local Noghri and was eventually accepted into the local Noghri clan. Etah having constructed his first lightsaber, destroyed a beast of unknown and perhaps supernatural origins called the Demurgima. Only after this rather dramatic climax, did Arconan forces sent by Selene d’Tana retrieve him from the rural planet.

===Becoming a Made man and Crying in the Dark (26 ABY/yrs old)===
{{Quote|[[starwars:Corellian_whiskey|Whiskey]] river take my mind. Don't let her memory torture me. Whiskey river don't run dry, your all I got take care of me.|[http://youtu.be/-ZQBm2aUpEw Darth Willie]}}

After returning from Honoghr and shortly before officially being promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, the d'Tana family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named Rho, were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men, Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family that were under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at Jedi Hunter.

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, he choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, as a front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

[[File:EtahBiker4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Contemplating amidst the darkness]]

===Dark Times (27 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|That's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement|[http://youtu.be/XSbZidsgMfw Darth Creator]}}

Following the Rite of Supremacy “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as Questor to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the Arconan Intelligence Service, Zandro Erinos was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the Yuuzhan Vong chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremecies awards cerimoney, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of Sukhur. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short while.

For his leadership in the 8th Great Jedi War, Etah was recognized by the Dark Council and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of Obelisk Templar. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the ressurection of the House Qel-Droma from the ashes of the House Orien's Obscurum and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Questor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, Xander Drax was placed as Questor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediatly followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events, caused a rift between Etah and much of the rest of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY/42 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be...me|[http://youtu.be/WziA88-n02k Darth Matchbox]}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar even then. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's dissident activity and planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Questors of both houses for various reasons. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Questorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/43 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt it's fleet. It decided the propper time to return to Antai and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In it's place however, was a crackpot Jedi Master named Omancor Crask, leading a band of anacronistic Jedi's that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and thier metal golems. Grand Master Aristan Dantes killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reocupying the system. Upon returning to Dajorra, the Garconan spice viens were found to be dried up. The future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprentichip to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elivated to Krath Archpriest. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Questor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order.

Etah's tenure as Questor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, Bracen Kunar.

===Watcher of Arcona (32-34 ABY/45-47 years old)===
{{Quote|On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone.

[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg |thumb|right|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]]

Following his time as Questor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during Vongforming of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to Kessel, located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the Arconan Expeditionary Force leading military forces in an assault on Salas V and its scary Killik inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the Temple Boyna from Sith Incursion.

===A Legacy of Excellence (35 ABY/48 yrs old)===
{{Quote|After we won the last Great Jedi War I announced to the House Galeres, that we had witnessed the Twilight of Taldryan Dominance and the Dawn of Arconan Supremacy. Moving forward, we have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence|Etah in a communiqué to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the families finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication, a call to invade New Tython came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in per-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared Menat Ombo, which kept the Jedi from being reenforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.

==Appearance==
Etah stands at just over six foot tall. Though his shoulders appears broad and his chest seems wide, he has a much more athletic figure than you would first imagine, a trait of his rather lithe species. He has repeating geometric patterns down both cheeks, also a trait of his culture. Each small diamond inscribed on his face marks a kill. His mustache, beard and long hair, along with his demeanor and manner of dress, give the impression that he is something of a brute, this is an intentional misdirection.

===Leathers===
Etah generally wears his swoop riding leathers for all but formal occasions. The outfit includes leather boots, leather chaps, a leather vest, a leather jacket, jeans and a tee-shirt. He likes the look and feel of the leathers and he enjoys the outfits connection to swoop culture and its inherent violence, which can have the side affect of intimidation. The leathers are also functional, keeping the hot swoop from burning his skin and keeping his skin intact should he crash his swoop and skid along the cement.

===Robes===
Like most of Arcona's Equites Etah generally wears the formal robes of the Shadesworn Cult. But even then he generally wears them over his riding leathers.

===Armor===
When Etah is training or on a mission with the Soulfire Strike Team. he wears the Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit that they all do.

==Psychological Profile==
There are two Etah's: one is the professional operator that he has to be and the other is the loud, obnoxious, cocky, but lovable SOB that he really is. His overly confident swagger sometimes makes for a rocky first impression, but his sheer competence generally assures a great second impression. Etah is nice to those he doesn't know, unless he takes a disliking to them. He is very nice to those he considers enemies and ironically enough, jokingly mean to those he considers friends. Threats are below him, he would rather meet others threats with action.
Etah doesn't possess a traditional sense of morals but instead lives by his own creed. His personal creed favors his comrades and is a little looser on practices that many people would consider wrong like theft, murder and other things that somehow benefit him in survival, attaining a mission objective or profit. When a given situation has to do with survival, Etah is primordially instinctual. If a given situation has to do with attaining a mission objective, he is focused like a laser but if it has to do with profit, he is his own gregarious self.

==Combat==
===The Force===
====Aggressive Negotiations====
When fighting a force sensitive opponent Etah likes to use Suppression to lower their force defense and then throughout the fight, he weaves in Drain will and Dark Side Snare to destroy their will and means to fight respectively. These three force abilities on any one person, drastically reduce their ability to fight at Etah's level.

====Cowboy Diplomacy====
Never bothering to train in grenades and other thrown weaponry until after he joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Etah instead uses grenades and some types of mines with either a precise application of Telekinesis or by Force Pushing the grenades very quickly. He often uses this technique in combination with other tactics such as blaster fire or lightsaber combat.

====Force Wraiths====
Like most Arconan's, Force Wraith's are his signature force ability. The causal observer notes, his largest wraith is a flying dragon followed by a large wolf of some type and the trio is rounded out by some sort of rabid hunting dog. Even when not actively using them, Etah likes to arrange the Force Wraiths, behind and to the side of any person or group he is fighting. It keeps them off guard and makes them feel vulnerable.

=====Behemoth=====
Standing at one and one quarter meters tall and nearly three meters long, the Behemoth is a very large shadowy canine creature. It is very powerful and agile and it moves very quickly. Its powerful jaws contain razor sharp teeth and its paws are framed by disproportionately large claws. If acting without command from Etah, Behemoth is very protective of Etah and the other Force Wraiths.

=====Leviathan=====
Five meters long, including its tail, this force wraith can sit three meters tall when on its hind legs. Like any good demon dragon it has horns, a mouthful of jagged teeth, very large and sharp claws on its front and back feet. The Leviathan is Etah's throne and he rides upon the dragons back as it takes flight and often closes with his opponent, with a quick leap from it's back. If acting without command from Etah, Leviathan aggressively attacks his opponents.

=====Stava=====
When not in combat Stava generally sits near Etah and he's probably Etah's favorite force Wraith. He tends to treat Stava like a pet dog. Looking very much like a large and demonic version of a stava, this force wraith is one meter long and a half meter tall. If in combat and acting without command from Etah, Stava chooses either Behemoth or Leviathan to assist
and then attacks Etah's enemies recklessly and aggressively.

====Tenebrae====
Choosing a strategic choke point point that his opponent will without a doubt move around, near, past or by, Etah stands unseen using any combination of Cloak, Twilight and Blackness. He waits until they are either within striking distance to attack, or using Burst of Speed or Equite Speed, are within a few large steps. The ambush is sudden, swift, aggressive and powerful. The idea is the defeat them quickly.

====Mindtweak====
Using the Obelisk ability Alter Image, Etah assumes the visage of the person he is fighting and using his mastery of the Tu'rek fighting style, he perfectly mirrors the person and adapts movement and technique similar to them. This tactic is guaranteed to make a person at least uneasy and has the potential to throw them off their game quite a bit.

====Stutter Steps/Stabs/Thrusts====
Etah likes to move into a lightsaber stab, chop or wrap and pause momentarily, drastically increasing the speed of the shot once he resumes movement. He can do so using just his high levels of agility or he can augment his agility with Enhance Ability or his speed with Burst of Speed or Equite Speed. This works well, with his mastery of the stava fighting style and has the benefit of sometimes fooling Precognition or Dodge.

===Hand-to-Hand Combat===
====Stava====
Etah began learning the Stava fighting style from Sashar and then later spent time on Honoghr learning to master Stava from the Noghri themselves. Stava's reliance on attack as a defense and its quick and well placed strikes have worked their way into every facet of his fighting, from hand to hand to lightsaber fighting.
====Tu'rek====
Etah uses Tu'rek as a training method to study his opponents style of fighting and ascertain weaknesses. The swooper also uses Tu'rek in the Mindtweak fighting technique.
===Lightsaber Combat===
Etah blends the defensive benefits of Shien with the dueling supremacy of Soresu. Etah's overall style is offensive without leaving himself exposed which boils down to a system of aggressive perry and ripost.
====Primary Lightsaber Form: Soresu====
Since Etah prefers to fight a lightsaber wielding opponent using a lightsaber, he learned Soresu to specifically dominate in lightsaber fights. He began training in Soresu with his first master, Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana and achieved mastery under instruction from Sashar Erinos Arconae.
====Secondary Lightsaber Form: Shien====
Etah began learning Shien from Selene d'Tana who though his first mentor in the Dark Brotherhood and his first battle team leader, was not officially his mentor. Her exit from the Clan Arcona is one of the reasons he has yet to master this form.

A [[Battleteam]] within [[Arcona]], Soulfire Strike Team is an elite commando unit formed to fill a variety of mission profiles within Arcona’s military. With an unconventional ‘blasters first’ policy on threats, the team treat themselves as commandos before Jedi and often view their talents in the Force as mere supplements to their military training. With a strong Mandalorian ethos backing the Squad, Soulfire are very military-orientated and spend on average 8 hours a day training. A closely knit squad within Arcona, they are nevertheless known to be cliquey in the extreme and highly aware of their reputation. Members of Soulfire are often picked for demonstrating an affinity with a specific area of combat before being trained up to scratch, and often even those that are trained up don’t last – Soulfire is unwaveringly given the difficult jobs, and has yet to come out of an operation without a grin on its bloodied, battered face. Due to their superiority in special operations, the Sergeant of Soulfire is usually named Commander of the Special Operations branch of the [[Dajorra Intelligence Agency]].

== The Basis of Soulfire ==
Soulfire Strike Team is the sword of Arcona. They are unequivocally the best combatants the clan has to offer and are regularly given ‘impossible’ missions to complete – which they have yet to fail. Soulfire Strike Team are primarily a Special Ops team and are unique in that they prefer a ‘blasters first’ policy, only drawing their lightsabers once ranged weaponry is no longer an option. Most of them adopt specialisations; however all of them will be at least proficient in every form of Special Operations combat, from demolitions, to sniping, to heavy weapons or even computer slicing. Soulfire also have a secondary role of augmenting the Summit Guard by having at least one or two members guarding the Consul at all times. Given their special stature within the clan, they are considered elite and as such operate an invite-only policy, with the Sergeant of Soulfire extending invitations to those members he feels warrant a place in this exceptional Squad.

==== Position in Arcona ====
Soulfire Strike Team are the elite of Arcona. They are arguably the most highly-regarded [[Battleteam]] in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. With this in mind, the exclusivity of Soulfire exempts it from the selection rule of the [[Project Reboot Reform]], instead picking only those they see fit to serve under their banner, as opposed to anyone above the rank of [[Protector]] being able to select their battleteam.

== Roster ==
Soulfire’s roster is divided into 3 separate units: The Squad proper, a crew for Soulfire's support vessel the [[AGV Valour's Fall]], a specially trained crew for Soulfire's LAAT/i, the Drexl.

'''Soulfire Strike Team'''
* Sergeant/Tech Specialist: General Sashar '''Erinos''', di Tenebrous Arconae (Human Male, Dxun)
* Tech Specialist: Major Celahir '''Erinos''' (Kiffar Male, Fondor)
* Heavy Weapons: Private First Class Xar’Kahn (Human Male, ___)
* Communications: Private First Class ‘Jackal’ (Human Male, ___)

'''Drexl Crew:'''
* Pilot: Sli'Rui (Twi'Lek Female ([[starwars:Ryloth|Ryloth]])
* Co-Pilot/Forward Gunner: Jaden Fox (Human Male, [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]])
* Starboard Gunner: Berra Tork (Human Male, [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]])
* Port Gunner: Derk Che'kla (Bothan Male, [[starwars:Bothawui|Bothawui]])

== History and Lore ==
=== Soulfire Honor Code ===
Soulfire, the eye of the storm

Around us destruction reigns, but within our team, there is nought but calm

A calm that permeates out, and works with our skills to bring an end to our enemies

The question is not 'will Soulfire win?'

It is 'How long before they win?'

But to be a member of Soulfire is so much more than it seems from the outside

Skill is not the only requirement.

Loyalty, honor, fidelity, All hold an important part of the Soulfirian Code.

Some call us arrogant, others call us blind

But jealousy is a dish best served cold, and it is what calls the criticism down on our Team.

We look after our own and keep to ourselves, but we aren't averse to helping others

We do this because of previous actions which taught us to help, but never to trust.

Trust must be earned, just like honor, and both are important

For without trust, there cannot be a team spirit

And without a team spirit, Soulfire would cease to be.

To condemn us is to bring the wrath of the very heavens down upon yourself

To join us is to ally yourself with a stoic society who will protect their own

To ignore us is an action that should be avoided, lest we strike you down from the shadows

To help us is to mean that someday, we will help you in return

To beat us, is a task that will never be achieved

Victory is assured

For we are Soulfire

Our strength rises from our unity

It comes from within, is released out

And brings victory to all those who fight beside us

We are Soulfire

Proudly we stand here, victorious

Then

Now

And forever more

''Created by Zandro Savric Erinos''

=== Soulfire Crest ===
To be completed credit to JH Maaks for coming up with the original design, and to DJK Voden Arjin for polishing it up into its current incarnation

=== Motto ===
The motto is derived from an ancient text and a reminder that Soulfire aren't specialists, they aren't especially suited to one task; they can meet any request that's made for them by the clan without question and pride themselves on their adaptability and fierce nature. Whatever is asked, they're always at the heart of the clan.

=== Vision ===
The vision of the Soulfire Strike Team is "All dedicated to the glory of Arcona". Various missions given by the superiors must be completed perfectly by the members. Once the member is accepted into Soulfire Strike Team, the crest is tattooed onto the member's right shoulder. This process is performed in the Soulfire Credential Ceremony – a private affair, only the members of the squad itself may attend (a testament to the squads’ extremely elitist attitude).

=== Awards ===
Members of Soulfire have time and time again gone above and beyond what is required of a Trooper of the Arcona Defense Force and because of this have earned various awards. Notably, the [[starwars:Kama|Kama]] (a protective garment worn around the waist to protect the wearer’s legs from shrapnel), the [[starwars:Pauldron|Pauldron]] of rank (designating command over a portion of Arcona’s Defense Force) and the Soulfire specific award given out for extreme bravery and dedication, the [[starwars:Jaig_eyes|Jaig eyes]] (painted red ceremonial eyes onto the wearer’s helmet).
The recipients of these awards are as follows:

'''Pauldron:'''
*Zandro Savric Erinos Arconae
*Etah d'Tana
*Malidir Trepidus Erinos Arconae
*Kieran Kodiak Erinos
*Rho Ozrei d'Tana
*Celahir Erinos
*Sashar Erinos Arconae

'''Kama:'''
*Zandro Savric Erinos Arconae
*Kieran Kodiak Erinos
*Malidir Trepidus Erinos Arconae

*Zandro Savric Erinos Arconae
*Sashar Erinos Arconae
*Malidir Trepidus Erinos Arconae
*Celahir Erinos

== Equipment ==
Soulfire Strike Team is the best Arcona had to offer. They are supremely qualified in their role as a commando unit and spend on average 8 hours a day training as a cohesive unit. They are closely-knit, confident in their ability to meet the objectives almost any other unit would deem ‘impossible’ and very much deserve the elite status they’ve been granted.

==== Armor ====
Soulfire Strike Team are all expected to wear Armor at all times when on assignment (unless maintaining cover prevents it) and train extensively with the Dar’Verd CES, which is detailed below.

==== Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit (DV-CES) ====
As Soulfire is the Elite of the clan, it only stands to reason that they received the best ‘gear’ available. Never one to spare any expense on his favourites, the Consul commissioned a team of Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders from the Kodiak Clan of Dxun to fashion suits for his chosen Battleteam. The armor is built to be a lightweight version of Mandalorian Armor. All the armor is done in Black with a matte black bodysuit to keep the plates together. The Soulfire emblem is painted onto the right pectoral plate and the armor has a turquoise trimming, to represent their fealty to House Galeres. On missions where stealth is a priority, the armor’s trimming is usually painted over, and the Soulfirians wear black over-cloaks to further give the image of a shadow (a nod in the direction of Arcona’s chosen Clan Force focus).
Jet black plates cover the torso, shoulders, crotch, thighs and shins and the Soulfire emblem is painted on the right pectoral. About

[[File:Neo_Crusader_Armour.jpg|thumb|210px|left|Strike Team member wearing Neo-Crusader Armor]]the waist there are various pouches to hold the equipment any Soulfirian needs (the standard equipment list is shown below). Mandalorian Iron was excluded as the choice for the armor as it proved to be too heavy for the function of a commando unit. Instead, laminanium armor (regenerative armor featured on the YVH Battle Droid) plating is found on the torso (the other armoured plating is a lightweight plasteel alloy). Due to the heavy nature of the alloy gel packs are utilized to reduce the weight but drastically shortens the life span of its self repairing function; now only able to withstand three direct hits. Where the armor doesn’t cover there is a matte black bodysuit that serves to insulate the body and regulate it using a new experimental memory-fabric which can alter its density according to the wearer’s body temperature, loosening if they are cold to create a layer of air between the body and the fabric so that the body can warm up, whereas if the body is hot, the fabric tightens, absorbing any sweat directly from the pores and a specially-designed chemical in the memory fabric will react with the salt in the sweat to lower the temperature, thereby keeping the wearer from overheating.
Each of the helmets is the main defining feature of the armor. They contain a close range com link for in squad communication, night vision and 'tactical' vision, in which all of the teammates positions are shown as well and often include additions to help in the area of specialisation.

==== Electric Disruptor Field (EDF) ====
Research on captured technology has also led to developments in the armor itself. The few Jedi that had survived encounters with the Vong substance Blorash and the few captured specimens available prompted a countermeasure to be developed as they proved notoriously difficult to kill. The squads’ armor was sprayed with a transparent coating of conductive minerals which allow an electric charge to flow over every external surface, so that when the wearer comes into contact with the jelly he or she can trigger ‘the pulser’ (as it is colloquially known) causing the Blorash Jelly to detach itself. While the pulse does not kill it, it is able to stun the organism for several minutes allowing the wearer to avoid it. The pulse feeds from the armor’s regenerative system as installing another battery for the device added too much weight. The side effect being that extensive use of the pulse prohibits the armor from regenerating. At the conclusion of the Vong War, it was decided that this particular addition to the Soulfire armory would be kept as it has a wide variety of uses other than just getting rid of Blorash Jelly.

==== DVB Combat Helmet ====
The helmets sported by the squad have also been updated to cope with the changing situation. With the increased amount of Melee combat the squad the original design’s view was found to be too constricting. Tiny cameras have been mounted on the helmet which feed into the helmets display. The target acquisition software has also been updated to include projectile tracking enabling the wearer to track incoming Thud Bugs. The information library has also been updated to include all the Yuuzhan Vong Technology recorded in the Galaxy as have the various role unique libraries.

=== Standard Weapons ===
All members of Soulfire are issued with a set of three primary weapons: the KX-80, the EPP-2 and the SSK-7 (unless their specialisation prevents them from carrying all three, such as the sniper and heavy weapons specialist).

==== KX-80 Blaster Rifle ====
At the Conclusion of the ninth Great Jedi War, it was decided that a less specialized piece of equipment would become standard issue for the squad, as the Lancer Rifles proved difficult to maintain in the field, requiring a lot of specialist equipment and parts. To that end, Sashar was commissioned to modify a number of KX-80 Blaster Rifles for use by the squad. His first act was to magnetise and upgrade the grips. Next, he made sure that every surface on the rifle was painted matte black with no reflective parts other than the scope lens. Finally, he added a flash reducer and muffler onto the barrel to reduce the initial flash and sound of the rifle firing (however, it’s obviously impossible to completely suppress the flash of a blaster bolt). Also worthy of note is that every single KX-80 utilised by the squad comes with an underslung [[starwars:MGL-1_micro_grenade_launcher|MGL-1 MicroGrenade Launcher]] to give the troops individual punch should they need it. However, every single troop knows that to use grenades against other force users is virtual suicide.

==== SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol ====
The SSK-7 has always been a stalwart of Soulfire Strike Team – a valuable sidearm to fall back on when the rifle and EPP-2 has fallen short. Sashar took to the pistols with the same gusto he modified with the KX-80 and made sure to matte down all of the surfaces of the weapon, modify the trigger and grip guard, add a silencer/muffler/flash suppressor, widen the clip loading bay and finally reduce the amount of pressure necessary to pull the trigger, allowing for an extremely fast ‘draw and fire’ time.

==== '''Erinos''' Plasma Projector-2 Assault Carbine (EPP-2) ====
[[File:EPP-2.JPG|thumb|180px|left|'''Erinos''' Plasma Projector-2]]
Noticing a distinct lack of power at close range, Sashar and Kieran worked closely to design a weapon that provided more stopping power than the KX-80, while sacrificing some of the range. The end result was the EPP-2; the '''Erinos''' Plasma Projector-2 (the first having taken the testing droid’s face off when it back-fired).

The EPP-2 borrows a lot of its technology from the Flechette launcher – firing a spread of burning projectiles that do incredible damage at close range, however instead of being based on what’s essentially molten shrapnel, the EPP-2 fires plasma-coated discs that explode on impact, delivering severe plasma burns to the opponent as well as packing one hell of a kinetic punch. Naturally, the recoil on the EPP-2 is vicious. Also, the plasma packets offer a more concentrated blast zone, rather than spraying the immediate area before the wielder in fire. Its maximum range is twenty five meters, and its optimum range is ten meters. The weapon can fire once every half second and can fire a total of 40 times before needing to be reloaded. Unfortunately, the ammunition packets for the EPP-2 are quite large and cumbersome, so Soulfire Members usually only carry one spare. The weapon is attached to the squad's packs and the stock folds under the weapon for compact storage.

==== Lancer Projectile Rifle Mark 1 (LPR-1) ====
[[File:LancerProjRifle.JPG|thumb|180px|left|Lancer Projectile Rifle]]
With the Galaxy changing, warped by the hands of the Alien invaders the squad decided newer weaponry was required to combat this new menace. Kieran and Sashar designed a new rifle to be phased into the squad. The rifle fires a blast of compressed air (drawn from the surrounding atmosphere and stored in a small tank for use) which propels the thin dart shaped rounds at high velocity through a plasma chamber. The dart is divided into three parts. The point is formed of Titanium shaped into an cross and slotted into the similarly crossed alloy that makes up the housing. A Durasteel Frasium alloy was created for the housing marring [[starwars:Durasteel|Durasteel’s]] strength with [[starwars:Frasium|Frasium’s]] incredibly melting point. This high melting point serves to delay the plasma from melting through to the minuscule [[starwars:Nergon-14|Nergon-14]] compound hidden within.

The idea being that when the superheated round hits the [[starwars:Vonduun_Crab_Armor|Vonduun Crab Armor]] it penetrates slightly before what is left of the point shatters allowing the plasmas to seek out the incendiary compound and thereby igniting it. Our battles with the Vong have taught us that while resistant to blaster fire and Lightsabers they do not react so favorably to explosives. The weapon thus relies on two power cells, one containing the gases required to create the plasma coating and the other containing the darts themselves. A suitable magazine was designed featuring dual chambers containing enough rounds and gas for fifty shots.

The intense heat within the weapon triggered by the igniting gases requires a separate alloy to be incorporated into the design. The barrel and gas chamber were constructed from Dallorian Alloy; fully capable of withstanding the intense heat. The rifle also features a scope that is integrated with the helmet’s targeting software and has been designed with mind to the weapon attatchments available in the Galaxy. With the fall of the Yuuzhan Vong, the Lancer Rifle was decided to be too specialized, and since the Soulfirians weren’t likely to be engaging the Vong in the near future, the Lancer was shelved in favor of a more economical weapon – a modified KX-80 Blaster Rifle.

==== '''Erinos''' Adhesive Grenade (EAG) ====
Developed to offer Soulfire a nasty and unexpected anti-infantry blast, the EAG is also fairly effective against light armoured vehicles, but thus far hasn’t proven useful to disassemble structures, given that it isn’t a focused blast. Basically, the EAG is a modified fragmentation grenade with a chemical veneer spread over it and a magnesium strip attached to the arming mechanism. When armed, the magnesium strip ignites and the sudden rise in temperature reacts with the chemical coating, transforming it into an incredibly sensitive instant adhesive (the process takes around a second, making throwing the grenade without it sticking to the users’ hand a little tricky). The EAG is the preferred weapon of Juda '''Erinos''', when hitting opponents with the butt of his EPP won’t cut it, and is fast becoming something of a signature move of the medic.

==== Ordinance ====
Historically, Soulfire is infamous for its use of high-yield explosives to solve any problem put before it. As such, each member has a standard ordinance package of 5 fragmentation grenades, 6 flashbang grenades (replaced with EMP ‘nades if droid-based opposition is expected), 2 EAGs 20 meters of explosive tape and 4 breaching charges. Obviously, the Demolitions specialist has considerably more explosive selection at his disposal.

=== Standard Equipment ===
In addition to the various equipment sets assigned in accordance with their roles, each member is given a standard set of field equipment, kept both in their pack and their belts. Both sets are listed below.

==== Pack ====
The top item in the pack is always a field medical kit, even if the member isn’t the Medical Specialist. It’s contents are the usual: a laser scalpel, pain killers, bacta patches, bandages, disinfectant, bacta salve, suture kits, and splints. Beneath the medical kit, there are hydration sachets, ration packs, a trench tool and sleeping roll.

==== Belt & Armor Pouches ====
In times of combat, a soldier needs easy access to vital pieces of equipment with the minimum of fuss (typically associated with unslinging their pack and then scrabbling through during the heat of battle). As such, the more compact and frequently used are usually kept in specific pouches about the commando’s person, such as the belt or pack harnesses. At the center of the main belt is a grappling hook attached to 100m of hypertension microline wire (rated to hold two fully armed and armoured Humanoid commandos). Immediately to the left of this are a pair of attachable glow rods (either to the helmet or the barrel of the KX-80 Blaster Rifle) and a spare comlink, should the helmet units fail. Spare power packs for both the KX-80 and the SSK-7 are kept on the belt, and finally at the back there is a lightsaber repair kit for any members of Soulfire above the rank of DJK.

==== Broad Frequency Comlink Bead (BFCB) ====
When working incognito, Soulfire substitutes their helmets and armor for 'civvie' attire, which surrenders them the luxury of their comlinks. To combat this, Soulfire acquired a set of bead comlinks so that they might keep in constant contact without being observed. The bead comlinks are inaudible to anyone other than the user and can pick up the barest trace of the user's voice. It can be toggled on and off by clicking ones' back teeth.

== Squad Roles ==
As an elite commando unit, it is imperative that the team remain as versatile as possible, which is why different roles have been drawn up. Each one carries different weapons and equipment in order to better support each other in the field.

=== (Sergeant) ===
===== Description =====
The DVB worn by the commander features some complex technology to aid him in leading the team effectively on the battlefield. A central databank contains detailed topography of the local area and displays it on the helmet’s HUD. It is also able to pinpoint the location of each of the team on the map as well as display their vital statistics. The commander can relay orders and assign objectives using the armor’s onboard computer which is controlled through both vocal commands and a datapad attached to the gauntlet. It is through this that the commander can call up a variety of different tactics to suit different situations as well as review the common tactics used by military bodies today. During large scale battles the suit is linked directly to the overall commander for instant orders and tactics.

===== Weapons =====
* KX-80 Modified Blaster Rifle (Locris Syndicated MGL-1 MicroGrenade Launcher)
* EEP-2 Assault Carbine
* Silenced SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol
* VibroCombat Knife

====== Ordinance ======
* Fragmentation Grenades (5)
* Flashbang/EMP Grenades (6)
* EAGs (2)
* Explosive Tape (20 meters)
* Breaching Charges (4)

=== Demolitions/Heavy Weapons Specialist ===
===== Description =====
Like all the other roles within the strike team the trooper’s Neo-Crusader armor is slightly different to ensure better performance within his role. The helmet is equipped with an advanced targeting system; when configured to the individual’s person the helmet takes readings from the gauntlet and is able to paint a cross hair for the weapon on the HUD of the helmet (it will also work in conjunction with the grenade launcher). A series of vocal commands can identify targets, set target priority, zoom in on the crosshair and a host of other gadgets. The system also incorporates a threat analysis program able to prioritize targets due to threat level while also monitoring who the other members of the strike team are targeting to maximize the units effective firepower; the information can then be transmitted to the other members of the strike team.
Micro stabilisers have been built into the gauntlets in order to improve the finger dexterity allowing for the precise movements required for demolitions. The armor remains the same as the rest of the squad save for the rebreather. Durasteel fibres have been sown into the suit in a honeycomb pattern to provide additional protection where the plates do not cover; the honeycombed pattern is able to absorb kinetic and blaster energy but will do little against melee attacks.

===== Weapons =====

=== Medic ===
===== Description =====
The Medics’ armor and equipment set is similar to the standard troopers’ in almost every respect. The helmet contains a medical analysis encyclopaedia and a small computer able to analyse and suggest treatment (medisensor) for a variety of wounds you would expect to incur in battle. The helmet also has an optical zoom for the finer medical work.
The suit itself remains standard save for the left gauntlet upon which a datapad has been mounted. It responds to a limited amount of verbal commands but has an easy to use keyboard for more specific enquiries.

=== Sniper/Spotter ===
===== Description =====
The scout sniper’s helmet incorporates some highly sophisticated imaging software. It has a telescopic zoom allowing the scout to zoom in and out, and also thermal imaging and low light mode, as well as information on the crosswinds, atmospheric moisture and pressure, and even the coriolis effect’s curve. The imaging software used is also able to recognize structures, vehicles and weapons and cross reference the silhouette with its databanks to report what the item is, very useful in collecting intelligence. The armor itself is painted matte black and is essentially the same as the rest of the teams except that all extruding items and loose parts have been removed to decrease the noise made.

===== Weapons =====
* Verpine Projectile Rifle
* Silenced SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol
* VibroCombat Knife

====== Ordinance ======
* Fragmentation Grenades (5)

=== Comm/Tech Specialist ===
===== Description =====
The Tech/Comm Specialist’s armor is the standard Soulfirian armor complimented with a specially designed helmet with an augmented ocular system. This system allows the user to zoom to microscopic levels through simple vocal commands with the addition of several different close range views. The helmet also has a built in long range transceiver able to communicate to anyone within the planetary system.
A datapad is attached to the left gauntlet and contains complex mechanical encyclopaedia on all modern technology allowing the wielder to identify even the most obscure and foreign technology in use. The datapad also contains several software programs to aid the trooper in slicing. The datapad also monitors local transmissions, decodes them and filters them for information useful to the mission.

== Standard Operating Procedures ==
Soulfire are [[Arcona]]’s elite task force, deployed behind enemy lines to accomplish missions that other units would fall far short of completing. Cohesion is vitally important in their ability to work well, thus a set of documented procedures has been written for training purposes and as a guide for the unit’s members.

==== The Battle Meld ====
The use of the [[starwars:Battle_Meld|Battle Meld]] is a well documented practice within Jedi lore. It provides the unit with several tactical advantages over the enemy. Communication through the meld (usually taking the form of emotions and images transferred within the force) allows the team to draw tactical information from the unit, in this sense they feel and see the battlefield as a ‘hive-mind’, thus responses to changing tactical situations are accomplished quicker. It also allows the unit to direct fire in the most efficient manner as a member can feel who his/her fellow team mates are targeting, and thus more targets can be engaged effectively. There are well documented benefits in the force when using a Force Meld. The unit’s members can draw strength from each other and share burdens equally amongst the unit thus reducing the drop in efficiency the unit may incur through certain situations (i.e. a team member is injured). Extensive participation in a Battle Meld can lead to forms of telepathy and can on occasion result in units members finishing each others’ sentences and sharing thoughts. While in one light it is an advantage, in another it destroys the individual roles within a unit and blurs the protocol each class of soldier must observe.

It has been known that through the meld feelings of anxiety and fear are amplified which can destroy a units morale and their ability to fight. Therefore, a criteria for a unit’s choice to utilize a meld must surely be that it members are hardened veterans and able to deal with both the emotional and physical strains of a heated battle.

Traditionally, Sashar Arconae establishes the force meld, given that it is his specialisation in the force.

Cop, spook, swooper, enforcer, leg breaker, Dark Jedi, Obelisk, Mafioso, Equite, Shadesworn. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason and definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

===Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (13 BBY-2 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|A demon spawn. The child of a bastard son. Seven born of seven and the Seventh child fathered one. A soul black full of pain. Bodies in the field. Blood pourin' like rain|[http://youtu.be/lQSHJhxdb1U Darth Boondox]}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the Outer Rim, Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a Confederacy war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to Darth Revan's Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fought in the prize fighting circuit. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow Clone War veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (3-4 ABY/16-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and absolutely without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review circa 4 ABY}}

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the Imperial Sector Ranger's. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the Empire. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperil service despite his near-human heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the Imperial Training Center on nearby Daluuj.

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and dynamic and deliberate entry, military operations in urban terrain. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at most Sector Ranger skill sets.

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

The Mirialan's general instruction at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the Albanin sector, which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his year and a half long assignment in the Albanin sector.

Etah's job as an Imperial Sector Ranger involved routine criminal instigation. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue subpenas and warrants, and he could search public and private property, seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as an Imperial Sector Ranger he personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people. He was successful because he was talented, secure in his authority and unhesitating in his duty. It was for these reasons, as well as his advanced training, that he was chosen to become a Special Enforcement Officer.

===Special Enforcement Officer (5-11 ABY/18-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Absolutely without fear to what should be the point of recklessness, but it always seems to work out for him|Passing comment from a coworker circa 8 ABY}}

Around this time, the Empire was crumbling, even in the Outer Rim, and Etah was recruited into the New Republic Security Force, the Agency that was assuming the assets and role of the Imperial Sector Rangers. Etah was transferred to the Security Force Office on Myomar in the Celanon Spur and was appointed as Special Enforcement Officer. He was chosen for his training, his natural ability and so he could be sent undercover in circles that would be hostile to humans.

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

In the next three years Etah pursued and arrested dozens of high profile and dangerous criminals. Pirates, slavers, assassins, Mob enforcers, bounty hunters, Etah tracked them down. He infiltrated their homes, their fortresses, their sky-hooks and their ships. He chased them from the Outer-Rim, beyond wild space and as far as the core worlds and the deep core. No matter what it took, he killed or captured them all. Of course, he had the resources of the New Republic to assist him.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go undercover, sometimes for months at a time. His last assignment was to expose and dismantle a powerful black market centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw Swoop Club called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/25-35 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The floodgates of the Damned shall crash and burn once again. Down, Down, Down, Forever Down|[http://youtu.be/m1AuFEawM9c Darth Wylde]}}

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the Corporate Sector. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling spice to this Black Market.

[[File:EtahAdult1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire and the New Republic never really offered him. During the first year he was with the Damned Swoop Club, he was still working as an undercover Special Enforcement Officer. But during that year he made no arrests as doing so would compromise his cover. During the wrap up of the Operation, a dozen members of the Damned were arrested by the local New Republic Security Force despite Etah's insistence at their Immunity.

With his first contract coming to an end, Etah was supposed to be transferred. But instead, he quit or rather, simply failed to sign a new contract which resulted in his separation from Service. The Damned accepted the explanation that he had no say in the arrests and he earned his patch by freeing eight of the twelve members of the Club that had been arrested from their prison facilities. He knew ins and outs of the former Sector Ranger facilities, infiltrated them and freed his Club mates.

Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His talent, a holdover from his says as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. Compelling their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented counterintelligence role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life, was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off Twi'lek slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/36 yrs old)===
{{Quote|I drink a lotta whiskey, smokin all the timeI'm gettin fucked up every god damn night. Everybody's doin cocaine and startin up fights and I'm livin fast and hard and dyin hard with my god damn. Loaded fists of fury, doin what I do.|[http://youtu.be/escWLa1MvkQ Darth III]}}

[[File:EtahBiker2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the Tana Consortium. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized the gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching Nar Shadda at its farthest. Which at the time, relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. All that was to change with their product going galactic.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed force sensitivity within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned laundered back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/37 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood. Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy|[http://youtu.be/BNUEhLavV2k Darth Araya]}}

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the Soulfire Strike Team by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. Psyko d’Tana Arconae, Proconsul of Arcona at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young Guardian Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as Tetrarch, a Krath Battle Team in the House Galeres. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would later be given the opportunity to serve as Aedile of the House Galeres.

===Tomb of Doom and Ascension to Knighthood (25 ABY)===
{{Quote|I'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down And It All Goes Wrong Again|[http://youtu.be/EdQjqY9JDmI Darth Alexakis]}}

[[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg |thumb|left|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]

Over the next year Etah commanded his Battle Team. In this role he led some of the most talented people in the Brotherhood including former and future Consul Mejas Doto and future Dark Counselor Orv. Toward the end of his tenure as Battle Team Leader, his Master Psyko d'Tana, sent him on a special mission.

Etah traveled to Kiffex where his mission was to obtain lightsaber crystals used by the former Krath Warlord and student of Ulic Qel-Droma, Sogr Kjah. He obtained them but was injured when Kjah’s crypt crashed into itself, which also destroyed his transportation. He was saved and tended too by local Kiffar and was eventually accepted into the local Kiffar clan after ridding the village of a beast of unknown and perhaps supernatural origins called the Demurgima.

Still on Kiffex, Etah having constructed his first lightsaber, then destroyed the force spirit of the formerly imprisoned Volfe Karkko. An action which freed the hundreds of feral Anzati running rampant all over the planet, from the deceased Dark Jedi’s mental domination. Only after this rather dramatic climax, were Arconan forces sent by Selene d’Tana to retrieve him from the rural planet.

===Becoming a Made man and Crying in the Dark (26 ABY)===
{{Quote|[[starwars:Corellian_whiskey|Whiskey]] river take my mind. Don't let her memory torture me. Whiskey river don't run dry, your all I got take care of me.|[http://youtu.be/-ZQBm2aUpEw Darth Willie]}}

After returning from Kiffex and shortly before officially being promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, the d'Tana family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named Rho, were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men, Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family that were under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at Jedi Hunter.

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, he choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, as a front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

[[File:EtahBiker4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Contemplating amidst the darkness]]

===Dark Times (27 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|That's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement|[http://youtu.be/XSbZidsgMfw Darth Creator]}}

Following the Rite of Supremacy “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as Questor to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the Arconan Intelligence Service, Zandro Erinos was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the Yuuzhan Vong chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremecies awards cerimoney, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of Sukhur. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short while.

For his leadership in the 8th Great Jedi War, Etah was recognized by the Dark Council and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of Obelisk Templar. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the ressurection of the House Qel-Droma from the ashes of the House Orien's Obscurum and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Questor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, Xander Drax was placed as Questor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediatly followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events, caused a rift between Etah and much of the rest of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY)===
{{Quote|I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be...me|[http://youtu.be/WziA88-n02k Darth Matchbox]}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar even then. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's dissident activity and planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Questors of both houses for various reasons. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Questorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/42 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt it's fleet. It decided the propper time to return to Antai and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In it's place however, was a crackpot Jedi Master named Omancor Crask, leading a band of anacronistic Jedi's that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and thier metal golems. Grand Master Aristan Dantes killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reocupying the system. Upon returning to Dajorra, the Garconan spice viens were found to be dried up. The future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprentichip to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elivated to Krath Archpriest. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Questor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order.

Etah's tenure as Questor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, Bracen Kunar.

===Watcher of Arcona (32-34 ABY)===
{{Quote|On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down|[http://youtu.be/se4fhy5eg6o Darth Cash]}}

[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg |thumb|right|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]]

Following his time as Questor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during Vongforming of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to Kessel, located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the Arconan Expeditionary Force leading military forces in an assault on Salas V and its scary Killik inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the Temple Boyna from Sith Incursion.

===A Legacy of Excellence (35 ABY/47 yrs old)===
{{Quote|After we won the last Great Jedi War I announced to the House Galeres, that we had witnessed the Twilight of Taldryan Dominance and the Dawn of Arconan Supremacy. Moving forward, we have reasserted Arconan Supremacy and in doing so, we've established a Legacy of Excellence|Etah in a communiqué to the Clan Arcona, circa 35 ABY}}

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the families finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication, a call to invade New Tython came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in per-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared Menat Ombo, which kept the Jedi from being reenforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.

Cop, spook, swooper, enforcer, leg breaker, Dark Jedi, Obelisk, Mafioso, Equite, Shadesworn. All these things describe Etah, but even together are insufficient to define him. He is more than you think, he is less than you want, he is a walking contradiction and he is beyond reason and definition. Etah is the embodiment of excellence and the personification of service. He is the flurrying rage and the foreboding shadow. He is a steward and stalwart of Arcona and he is standing right behind you.

===Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (13 BBY-2 ABY/0-15 yrs old)===
{{Quote|A demon spawn. The child of a bastard son. Seven born of seven and the Seventh child fathered one. A soul black full of pain. Bodies in the field. Blood pourin' like rain|[http://youtu.be/lQSHJhxdb1U Darth Boondox]}}

[[File:Etah5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah during his awkward teen years]]

Born on Mirial in the Outer Rim, Etah's mother died in childbirth and his father was a Confederacy war hero. The father had been the seventh and last son, in a family with no girls. He would go on to have seven sons and like his father before him, no girls. Etah was the last of his sons. Etah's birth family was proud of both their Confederacy roots and their ancestors service to Darth Revan's Sith Empire, Mirial having sided with both in the course of its history.

Though raised without a mother and alienated from his much older siblings, Etah's childhood on Mirial was typical enough. He made average marks in school, was decently successful with the opposite sex and fought in the prize fighting circuit. His father was a retired and spent much of his time with his fellow Clone War veterans. Not caring for the company of old men, Etah spent his free time with friends. This led to many exploits involving girls, liqueur and partying, but nothing that got out of hand.

===Imperial Sector Ranger (3-4 ABY/16-17 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dedicated, passionate, courageous and absolutely without fear. Ethical to the point of disloyalty.|Excerpt from a Etah's yearly performance review circa 4 ABY}}

As he reached young adulthood, Etah was recruited into the Imperial Sector Ranger's. The Imperial Rangers were a criminal investigations division that predated the Empire. This, along with the fact that he was recruited from the outer rim, made it possible for him to join Imperil service despite his near-human heritage. For his training he was shipped out to the Imperial Training Center on nearby Daluuj.

At the Imperial Training Center, training was conducted in general subjects such as basic individual military tactics and movement and dynamic and deliberate entry, military operations in urban terrain. As well as more specialized topics, such as criminal law, the justice system and criminal investigation. Etah proved extraordinarily adept at most Sector Ranger skill sets.

[[File:Etah.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah in his dress uniform]]

The Mirialan's general instruction at the Imperial Training Center lasted six months, after which Etah was assigned to the Albanin sector, which included the Daluuj system. During his service in the Albanin sector, Etah was able to obtain advanced instruction in shadowing, infiltration, pursuit and undercover work. This training was obtained in multiple week long seminars, spread throughout his year and a half long assignment in the Albanin sector.

Etah's job as an Imperial Sector Ranger involved routine criminal instigation. He had authority to grant immunity to prosecution, issue subpenas and warrants, and he could search public and private property, seize potential evidence and illegal goods. He had the authority to arrest and he had the authority to “compel statements” from suspects. He also had limited authority to direct other Imperial assets.

In the first year as an Imperial Sector Ranger he personally secured the arrest, prosecution and conviction of dozens of highly wanted criminals. Some of them were high ranking Imperial military officers, influential Imperial bureaucrats, and wealthy Imperial business people. He was successful because he was talented, secure in his authority and unhesitating in his duty. It was for these reasons, as well as his advanced training, that he was chosen to become a Special Enforcement Officer.

===Special Enforcement Officer (5-11 ABY/18-24 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Absolutely without fear to what should be the point of recklessness, but it always seems to work out for him|Passing comment from a coworker circa 8 ABY}}

Around this time, the Empire was crumbling, even in the Outer Rim, and Etah was recruited into the New Republic Security Force, the Agency that was assuming the assets and role of the Imperial Sector Rangers. Etah was transferred to the Security Force Office on Myomar in the Celanon Spur and was appointed as Special Enforcement Officer. He was chosen for his training, his natural ability and so he could be sent undercover in circles that would be hostile to humans.

[[File:EtahAdult3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah as a Special Enforcement Officer]]

In the next three years Etah pursued and arrested dozens of high profile and dangerous criminals. Pirates, slavers, assassins, Mob enforcers, bounty hunters, Etah tracked them down. He infiltrated their homes, their fortresses, their sky-hooks and their ships. He chased them from the Outer-Rim, beyond wild space and as far as the core worlds and the deep core. No matter what it took, he killed or captured them all. Of course, he had the resources of the New Republic to assist him.

On some of the harder pursuits Etah was forced to go undercover, sometimes for months at a time. His last assignment was to expose and dismantle a powerful black market centered around the Celanon Spur. In order to do this, he went in deep cover in an outlaw Swoop Club called the Damned. The Damned were founded and populated by Mirialan Confederacy Veterans, some of whom were friends of his fathers.

===Damned Forever, Forever Damned (12-22 ABY/25-35 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The floodgates of the Damned shall crash and burn once again. Down, Down, Down, Forever Down|[http://youtu.be/m1AuFEawM9c Darth Wylde]}}

The Damned Swoop Club were against the black market because it overcharged near-humans from the Outer-Rim and ultimately funneled profit to human owned companies in the Corporate Sector. So they let the son of a local war hero prospect with them, knowing his mission and his intentions. At Etah's behest the Damned started buying weapons from the black market and selling spice to this Black Market.

[[File:EtahAdult1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah going undercover as a swooper]]

Etah fit in with the Damned comfortably. He found he liked the life and the sense of brotherhood that service to the Empire and the New Republic never really offered him. During the first year he was with the Damned Swoop Club, he was still working as an undercover Special Enforcement Officer. But during that year he made no arrests as doing so would compromise his cover. During the wrap up of the Operation, a dozen members of the Damned were arrested by the local New Republic Security Force despite Etah's insistence at their Immunity.

With his first contract coming to an end, Etah was supposed to be transferred. But instead, he quit or rather, simply failed to sign a new contract which resulted in his separation from Service. The Damned accepted the explanation that he had no say in the arrests and he earned his patch by freeing eight of the twelve members of the Club that had been arrested from their prison facilities. He knew ins and outs of the former Sector Ranger facilities, infiltrated them and freed his Club mates.

Now a patch holder with the Damned Swoop Club, Etah acted as an enforcer. His talent, a holdover from his says as a Special Enforcement Officer, was gaining access to people that weren’t suppose to be accessible and either killing them or compelling their support. Compelling their support the same way as he used to compel statements from suspects. He also kept an eye on law enforcement and served in a law enforcement oriented counterintelligence role for the Club. More than once he sniffed out police rats from within the Club or majorly foiled the plans of the local law enforcement.

Etah reasoned that the main difference between being a Swooper and real life, was that to be a Swooper you sometimes had to act with complete disregard for the consequences. This was especially true in matters of respect and honor. But the life generally consisted of doing lines of spice off Twi'lek slave girl's thighs, busting peoples faces open and making jokes with one another. Etah sometimes mused that members of Outlaw Swoop Clubs hugged each other more than most people would guess. The craziness of parties and the laughter of friendship often abruptly gave way to violence or serious business, but never for long.

===The d'Tana Crime Family (23 ABY/36 yrs old)===

[[File:EtahBiker2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Etah after aligning with the Tana Consortium]]

Many years after joining the club, Etah was Sargent-at-Arms for the Myomar Chapter of the Damned, Etah secured a contract with a beautiful and compelling human female. It was not unusual for Swoop Clubs to contract with organized crime rings to act as escorts or errand runners and this organized Crime Ring was the Tana Consortium. The female was Selene d'Tana and she recognized the gift within Etah.

The contract was for the Damned to begin distributing Garconian Spice throughout the Outer Rim. This contract is what brought the Tana Consortium into the big time. Before that the Consortium's spice had exclusively been dealt in Dark Brotherhood and Hutt Space, reaching Nar Shadda at its farthest. Which at the time, relegated them to being a somewhat local phenomenon. All that was to change with their product going galactic.

The contract was originally going to be very small and the Tana Consortium was gonna push its spice into the Outer-Rim through multiple sources. But once Selene sensed force sensitivity within Etah, they pushed all their work through the Damned, making the group moderately wealthy by Outer-Rim standards. The more drugs the Consortium pumped out and the more money the Damned laundered back through, the farther Selene and Psyko began bringing Etah “into the fold,” as it were.

===Shadow Clan (24 ABY/37 yrs old)===
{{Quote|Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood. Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy|[http://youtu.be/BNUEhLavV2k Darth Araya]}}

After a year of working closely with Selene d'Tana and Psyko d'Tana, they brought him in. They told him what they were, what the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was and what he was. They threatened that if he did not join they would have to kill him and cancel his clubs lucrative contract. But such threats were unnecessary. Growing up with gloried notions of the Sith Armies of Darth Revan, Etah very much liked the the concept of becoming a Dark Jedi.

Very soon after joining the clan Arcona and by extension the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Swooper was recruited into the Soulfire Strike Team by the then Sergeant Selene d’Tana. There he brushed up on a lot of his infantry skills while making use of the infiltration skills he learned as an SEO, as the groups scout. Psyko d’Tana Arconae, Proconsul of Arcona at the time, saw great potential in the new Dark Jedi and took him under his wing as an Apprentice.

After a short time as a member of the Soulfire Strike Force, the young Guardian Etah was offered the first of what would be many leadership opportunities. Reluctantly leaving his mentor Selene, the young Dark Jedi took the helm of the Qel-Droma phyle as Tetrarch, a Krath Battle Team in the House Galeres. He would be mildly successful, but enough so that he would later be given the opportunity to serve as Aedile of the House Galeres.

[[File:EtahLeathersFront.jpg |thumb|left|200px|The front view of Etah's riding leathers]]

Over the next year Etah commanded his Battle Team. In this role he led some of the most talented people in the Brotherhood including former and future Consul Mejas Doto and future Dark Counselor Orv. Toward the end of his tenure as Battle Team Leader, his Master Psyko d'Tana, sent him on a special mission.

Etah traveled to Kiffex where his mission was to obtain lightsaber crystals used by the former Krath Warlord and student of Ulic Qel-Droma, Sogr Kjah. He obtained them but was injured when Kjah’s crypt crashed into itself, which also destroyed his transportation. He was saved and tended too by local Kiffar and was eventually accepted into the local Kiffar clan after ridding the village of a beast of unknown and perhaps supernatural origins called the Demurgima.

Still on Kiffex, Etah having constructed his first lightsaber, then destroyed the force spirit of the formerly imprisoned Volfe Karkko. An action which freed the hundreds of feral Anzati running rampant all over the planet, from the deceased Dark Jedi’s mental domination. Only after this rather dramatic climax, were Arconan forces sent by Selene d’Tana to retrieve him from the rural planet.

===Becoming a Made man and Crying in the Dark (26 ABY)===
{{Quote|[[starwars:Corellian_whiskey|Whiskey]] river take my mind. Don't let her memory torture me. Whiskey river don't run dry, your all I got take care of me.|[http://youtu.be/-ZQBm2aUpEw Darth Willie]}}

After returning from Kiffex and shortly before officially being promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, the d'Tana family indicated that he, along with a Nagai named Rho, were being accepted into the family. Both having already been affiliated with the Consortium, joining the d'Tana family was an elevation to the status of Made men, Mafioso's whose safety and status were protected by the Consortium. Rho and Etah were the first members to be accepted into the family that were under the Dark Jedi rank of Dark Jedi Knight, both of them standing at Jedi Hunter.

But the joy of becoming a part of the d'Tana family would not last for long. The pretty young woman who was the first person to recognize the dormant gift within Etah, died under mysterious circumstances after being alienated from the Clan Arcona. Then, one by one the members of the d'Tana family left the Clan. Etah knowing no other home but Arcona, he choose to remain among the shadow clan, while maintaining his loyalty to the d'Tana Crime Family.

For the next year Etah was in charge of the legitimate front-business Dahl Plating, which produced bulkheads and hulls for space ships. The company was created by Gavin Dahl, as a front to assemble Coronada Station. As one of the few remaining Arconan d'Tana's. Etah was in charge in the mining, refinement and production of Garconan Spice. Dahl plating was successfully used as a cover for Garconan Spice's distribution.

===Dark Times (27 ABY/40 yrs old)===
{{Quote|That's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement|[http://youtu.be/XSbZidsgMfw Darth Creator]}}

Following the Rite of Supremacy “Second Darkness,” Etah was asked to step up as Aedile of the House Galeres. His active though uninspired leadership, helped see the House Galeres through a difficult leadership transition. The Mirialan gave no objections about the choice of Sashar as Questor to Consul Timeros, but Sashar it seemed had reservations about him. During a short period of absence, due to obligations to the Arconan Intelligence Service, Zandro Erinos was chosen to replace Etah.

The Swooper had no time to grouse however, as the Yuuzhan Vong chose just then to attack Dark Jedi Brotherhood space. Etah, in the Dajorra system, led the few Arconan's that weren't attending the Rite of Supremecies awards cerimoney, to Last Stand Depot on the glassy planet of Sukhur. The reconstructed Arconan fleet picked up the Clan from this location before going into an exile that would last several years. During this period of time Etah had little contact with the d'Tana family and even ceased using the name for a short while.

For his leadership in the 8th Great Jedi War, Etah was recognized by the Dark Council and the Clan Arcona when by being elevated to the rank of Obelisk Templar. It was during this time that he was inducted into the nascent Shadesworn cult and began an extended Apprenticeship to Timeros Caesus Entar. But those details would not become public for quite some time.

Following the 8th Great Jedi War, Mejas Doto re-ascended to the throne of the Clan Arcona. This led to his Project Resurrection. Project Resurrection was the ressurection of the House Qel-Droma from the ashes of the House Orien's Obscurum and it entailed a program in which all existing members of the Clan leadership were fired and the entire Clan competed for the positions.

Etah felt he had rightfully earned the Questor-ship of the House Qel-Droma. But in an act of what Etah felt was cronyism, Xander Drax was placed as Questor instead and proved to be a largely absent leader. That was immediatly followed by a very public spat between Etah and the then Proconsul, Sashar Erinos. Those events, caused a rift between Etah and much of the rest of Arcona that would not be reconciled for years.

===Coming In From the Cold (29 ABY)===
{{Quote|I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be...me|[http://youtu.be/WziA88-n02k Darth Matchbox]}}

Though the rift between Etah and Sashar was very real, it was also for show. It put the former Special Enforcement Officer on the fringes of the Clan and allowed him to function as a counterintelligence operative for the Clan's nascent Intelligence branch, which was being officially unofficially led by Timeros Entar even then. As an outsider the Mirialan was able to sniff out dissenters and gain the trust of traitors. In this way he protected his Clan. His last mark was the Arconan Proconsul at the time, Vorion, though Etah later lamented the fall of the man who almost became his friend.

Approaching Arcona's greatest victory, Etah brought Vorion's dissident activity and planned treachery to light, which resulted in Vorion resigning along with the Questors of both houses for various reasons. Trusting did not come to Timeros easily, so when the Entar was forced into the Questorship of the House Galeres, he decided to call in his Apprentice and friend, Etah, to act as his Aedile. Etah was back in good standing with the Clan, officially and unofficially.

===The Dawn of Supremacy (30 ABY/42 yrs old)===
{{Quote|The twilight of Clan Taldryan’s domination has passed into the dawn of Arconan supremacy|Etah in a communiqué to the House Galeres, circa 31 ABY}}

[[File:EtahBiker3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Etah posing in the middle of combat]]

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood had bided its time, and rebuilt it's fleet. It decided the propper time to return to Antai and to take it back from the Yuuzhan Vong by force. But it soon found that the Yuuzhan had been destroyed by some sort of sickness. In it's place however, was a crackpot Jedi Master named Omancor Crask, leading a band of anacronistic Jedi's that had somehow obtained an army of automatons.

The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Clan Arcona, invaded Antei and destroyed the Jedi and thier metal golems. Grand Master Aristan Dantes killed Omancor Crask in one on one combat and the Jedi were slaughtered en mass. Antei and then the Clan holdings were retaken three years from the date that the Yuuzhan Vong had originally invaded. Though parts of Dajorra were ravaged, the Clan Arcona had no problems reocupying the system. Upon returning to Dajorra, the Garconan spice viens were found to be dried up. The future of the d'Tana family would have to lie outside of Dajorra.

During the war and for a short time after, Etah adopted the Krath Order. This period was the height of Etah's apprentichip to Timeros and he wanted to follow in his mentors footsteps more closely. Following the war and Arcona's great victory, Etah was elivated to Krath Archpriest. Not long after the Great Jedi War Etah succeeded Timeros as Questor of House Galeres and not long after that, the Equite returned his loyalties to the Obelisk Order.

Etah's tenure as Questor of the House Galeres started strong but during a month and a half long absence due to obligations to the d'Tana Family, the House became restless. Seeing great potential in his Aedile, Zakath, and wanting to concentrate on his work with Arconan Intelligence, Etah stepped down upon his return and was accepted into a support role to the Consul Sashar Erinos and Proconsul at the time, Bracen Kunar.

[[File:EtahLeathersBack.jpg |thumb|right|200px|The backview of Etah's riding leathers]]

Following his time as Questor of Galeres, Etah turned his attention to the d'Tana family. The Tana Consortium was dormant, Coronada Station which had served as the Consortium’s headquarters was destroyed, the family had scattered and the Garconian spice veins dried up during Vongforming of the planet. Not having authority to make decisions for the family and not having contact with any of the old Baron's of the family, the Mirialan called his old allies to him.

The ranks of the Damned Swoop Club had been bolstered by Mirialan military veterans of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but were too jammed up by the New Republic in the Outer Rim to enjoy profit or even peace. So they followed their brother to Kessel, located not far from Dajorra. Etah rechristened the group of ruffians, the Thrice Damned, reasoning that they had been damned by war, damned by the New Republic and with their new allegiances, damned by the Jedi.

Using the Damned's remaining capital and the contacts and retainers of the Tana Consortium to build a small empire on Kessel, First Etah found a network of spice rich caves that had been planned to be mined, but never were. Then a fortress was built recessed into the rock. Etah dubbed it Coronada Fortress, after the station and Arcona's former home system. Then the Thrice Damned offered the space as the new headquarters of the d'Tana Crime Family and the newly created Tana Incorporated.

Though occupied elsewhere, Etah never felt he had left with Arcona or grown out of touch. He had taken to calling himself the Watcher of Arcona, since he monitored the clan closely from Coronada Fortress. 32 ABY found Etah joining the Arconan Expeditionary Force leading military forces in an assault on Salas V and its scary Killik inhabitants. In 33 ABY Etah joined the Obelisk Order in attacking the remnants of Omancor Crask's droid army and then defending the Temple Boyna from Sith Incursion.

With Tana Incorporated back up and running and the families finances back in the black, Etah returned to Dajorra. He was received by the Clan leadership with cautious but open arms. They seemed to think that it was likely that he would return to the d'Tana holdings on Kessel. But the Prelate had no time to prove his dedication, a call to invade New Tython came from the Dark Council.

Etah was involved in per-planning the operation. Arcona hit the surface of New Tython with no complication and Etah was sent out in a small but elite team to flank the Jedi and their Mandalorian Mercenaries. The small team breached and cleared Menat Ombo, which kept the Jedi from being reenforced and led to the enemy line folding and being ripped to shreds. For his actions, he was awarded by the Clan Summit.
